The earth mother goddess Gaia bathes in a pool of stars. This piece came straight from a dream I had in early October a night or two before I found out I was pregnant. I have often had dreams where I’m swimming in a pool of stars and looking up at the earth, but this is the first time anyone else showed up. I deliberately chose not to show her face, partly because it shouldn’t matter and partly because I didn’t actually see it. But she was bald and had skin the color of rich, dark earth like a freshly tilled garden, and she was humming to herself in a shifting five note scale pattern that reminded me of change ringing.
