My mind is immediately filled with previously unseen colours and sounds, smells and tastes. I feel…different.
Where am I? Only a few moments earlier, I was in a warm, dark, quiet place where I was happy and safe. Now, I am surrounded by strange creatures who stare at me, prod me, make incomprehensible sounds. Worst of all, they bare teeth in a frightening way. I cry: Go away!
Wait. What’s this? Oh, what a delight! I feast and am immediately filled with warmth. I am wrapped in something soft. I feel tenderness and love.
Hello, Mother.
