Speaker 1:

No moment is as magical as the very first time you discover you are going to be a dad. Like a big bang igniting in the innermost sanctum of your being, your imagination bursts into galaxies of never-ending possibilities for a life that is yet to come. You begin to feel the increasing weight of duty and responsibility pressing firmly upon your shoulders, but you're not intimidated, perhaps. Perhaps You're invigorated to embark on the most epic adventures, navigating life across the vastness of time with the knowledge that your child will always be your North Star, will always be your North Star. But like an ominous presence, you also begin to feel the mystical aura of your past, present and prospective successes and failures, bringing into sharp focus who you are and who you're discovering yourself becoming.

Speaker 1:

You ask yourself will I be enough? What if I fail? Yet, despite these doubts, a gentle, steadfast, reassuring voice resonates from deep within your being. You are enough. You will rise to the occasion. Suddenly, every hope, every fear, every promise and uncertainty crescendo to arrange a harmoniously sophisticated symphony of emotions you've never experienced before, and beyond the furthermost extent of your mind's horizon, your imagination, like a womb, becomes the sanctuary where you first encounter the transcendent form of your child, who is intricately you, a part of you and distinct from you. In this sacred space of your womb mind, sacred space of your womb mind, Seeds of love and anticipation as innumerable as stardust are sown, nurtured and allowed to flourish, becoming a cosmic cascade of everlasting love. Everlasting love preparing you for the magical moment when imagination becomes reality.
