#837 The Moment of Conception- Amelia Gray
A couple have secluded themselves in a room and are discussing methods of conception. They live in an abode built for such an event: “We had made a life together, a quiet house. In the center of our home was our bedroom, and in the center of our bedroom was an extravagant bed, which we had specially made.”
The bed was elevated off the floor high above their reach; they had to get up to it using ladders. They sit there now discussing an extreme and painful ceremony of union and sacrifice. Marriage and parenthood are sacrifice of the self…how far are you willing to go?
Notable Passage: “I knew from her kindness and her spinach torte that she was my spiritual equal.”
