We started Chapter 4 on the Sunshine Skyway fishing pier—fish of all shapes and sizes emerging from the water like angels stepping through a portal. That’s the image I couldn’t shake—a thin veil, one world breaking in upon another. Mysteries unwrapped, darkness illuminated, let there be light, let there be life. Or maybe, Look, there’s light. Look, there’s life!1

It reminds me of my husband’s first words upon first seeing our first baby entering the world— “Oh crap. It’s so big.” Yes, he was excited. Yes, the miracle of birth. But also, What the heck? How did THAT get there? And how it is it HERE, NOW?
