LIFE AFTER BIRTH

An unborn set of twins' conversation in the womb of their mother...

"Say, do you actually believe in life after birth?" the one twin asks.

"Yes, definitely! Inside we grow and are prepared for what will come outside", answered the other twin.

"I believe that´s nonsense!" says the first. "There can't be life after birth - what is that supposed to look like?"

"I don't exactly know either. But there will certainly be much more light than in here. And maybe we will be walking about and eat with our mouths?"

"I've never heard such nonsense! Eating with the mouth? What a crazy idea. There is the umbilical cord that nourishes us. And how do you want to walk about? The umbilical cord is much too short."

"I am sure it is possible. It´s just that everything will be a little bit different."

"You are crazy! Nobody ever came back after birth. Life is over with birth. That's it."

"I admit that nobody knows what life after birth will look like. But I do know that we will see our mother then, and that she will take care of us."

"Mother???? But you don't believe in a mother, do you? Where is she?"

"She is here, all around us. We are and we live within her and through her. Without her we couldn't exist at all!"

"Nonsense! I´ve never sensed a mother, consequently she doesn´t exist."

"Yes, sometimes, when we are very quiet you can hear her sing, or feel how she caresses our world."
