She asked me what was wrong, and i told her i had to end it. she was surprised, and asked my why i thought so. i told her it wasn't a thought, more a feeling, like i couldn't breathe and knew i had to get some air. it was a survival instinct, i told her. she said it was time for dinner. then she sat me down and told me not to worry. she said moments like this were like waking up in the middle of the night: you're scared, your'e disoriented, and you're completely convinced you're right. but then you stay awake a little longer and you realize things aren't as fearful as they seem.

In the event of an oxygen shortage on airplanes, mothers of young children are always reminded to put on their own oxygen mask first, to better assist the children with theirs. the same tactic is necessary on terra firma. there's no way of sustaining our children if we don't first rescue ourselves. i don't call that selfish behavior. i call it love.
