Part 2: The Slippery Nature of Time

With words by Natalie Patton and music by the band Scale Worms, this story is a meditation on time, memory and loss told across three parts. Here: part 2 of "The Slippery Nature of Time."

In part 2, the time period is leading up to and immediately following the birth of my first child. For most (all?) women, the postpartum period is a particular one. For me, it was accentuated by grief that burst out in ways I wasn't expecting and definitely wasn't prepared for.
