Keep Breathing
When her son was born Éowyn clung to the midwife ...and wailed.
“Breathe...let your breath rise...and fall...”
During his first weeks she put her ear to his face in moments of quiet, to make sure she could still feel and hear the gentle ripples if his breathing...through the tidal flow of Faramir’s.
Elboron took his first steps with the wayward grace of infants; flailing limbs synchronizing at the cusp of movement...body projecting forward in precarious equilibrium.
Rise...and fall.
For Éowyn this regular rhythm of everyday life never became entirely given.
“Remember, little man,” she whispered...the trick is always...to keep breathing.”
