“When you were born, you were caught as you came out of the chute, so to speak —caught and embraced in the arms of your mother […] You were held face to face, there at the beginning […] and if not your birth mother, some other had to catch you and care for you. Or you would not have survived. Mother’s gaze was one of freely offered delight and welcome. Hello! Here you are! I’m so glad you are here! We’ve been waiting so long for you, and your being here is endlessly wonderful. Welcome to the world!” (p.9)
