When you're pregnant, you can think of nothing but having your own body to yourself again; yet after giving birth you realize that the biggest part of you is now somehow external, subject to all sorts of dangers and disappearance, so you spend the rest of your life trying to figure out how to keep her close enough for comfort. that's the strange thing about being a mother: until you have a baby, you don't even realize how much you were missing one.

When You're Pregnant, You Can Think Of

More From Jodi Picoult

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

I think of the chimp, the one with the talking hands. in the course of the experiment, that chimp had a baby. imagine how her trainers must have thrilled when the mother, without prompting, began to sign her newborn. baby, drink milk. baby, play ball. and when the baby died, the mother stood over the body, her wrinkled hands moving with animal grace, forming again and again the words: baby, come hug, baby come hug, fluent now in the language of grief.
Mother Baby Grief
Please don't wait until the doctors tell you that you are going to have a baby to begin to take care of it. it is already there. whatever you are, whatever you do, your baby will get it. anything you eat, any worries that are on your mind will be for him or her. can you tell me that you cannot smile? think of the baby, and smile for him, for her, for the future generations. please don't tell me that a smile and your sorrow just don't go together. it's your sorrow, but what about your baby? it's not his sorrow, its not her sorrow.

You have to stand up and be a human. you have to honor the man or woman that you are. respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean, and heal your body. exercise and do what makes your body feel good. this is a puja to your body, and that is a communion between you and god. . . . when you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.

You never know the biggest day of your life is your biggest day, not until it’s happening. you don’t recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you’re right in the middle of it. the day you commit to something or someone. the day you get your heart broken. the day you meet your soul mate. the day you realize there’s not enough time because you wanna live forever. those are the biggest days. the perfect days.
Heart Perfect Days Broken
There's one uneasy borderline between what is external and what is internal, and this borderline is defined exactly by the sense organs and the skin and the introduction of external things within my own body. consciousness is altered by physical events and physical objects, which impinge upon my sense organs, or which i introduce into my body. now the name traditionally given to external objects or processes which change you internally is sacrament. sacraments are the visible and tangible techniques for bringing you close to your own divinity.
