What I remember of my birth is that it was a living hell.

The pressure was crushing down against every part of my body; something was gripping me and ripping me from the warmth that I had always known. I was being pulled and forced into a place as cold as ice and then as quickly as it had begun it was over. The next thing I remember is the soft, gentle gold everywhere, surrounding me and holding me safe, this was the-gold-that-surrounds me. I knew that I was being carried by something large and blue. I felt myself floating down and then pressing against something very bright blue. I fell asleep with a blue/bright gold flowing down my throat and filling my tiny stomach. My mother would tell me the entire story much later.

When I was born, I was not breathing. Stillborn the doctors had told her and then, without any prompting and almost four minutes later, I began to breathe on my own. The doctors were confused and even more confused when I reached up my little arms as though I was grabbing onto something and let out a singular laugh, something that in their experience, no other newborn had ever done. At that point, one of the nurses simply took over and began to treat me as she treated any newborn. She wrapped me in a blanket and then put me on the mother so that I could begin to breast-feed. My mother had been lactating for weeks and was ready for me. That was the start of my journey.

So, by now you probably can tell that there was and is something that isn’t 100% right about the way I see the world. At the time though no one knew, and for me, this was and is normal. According to my mother, I seemed to be a normal baby in every respect. I was small, I was wrinkled but smoothing out and I had the darkest blue eyes that she had ever seen. No one seemed to notice at the time though just how blue those eyes were.

While I remember everything, the detail would bore you to death, and it would quite literally take a lifetime to tell it all. I will talk about the highlights until we get to what I think matters.

As an infant, there were a couple of incidents that stand out. One involves the deep blue/dark gold one that moved too fast for me to follow. It would perch slightly above me on the dimly yellow and I could tell it was looking down at me. Then, without any warning, it would streak away too fast for my little head to turn. It was about that time that I realized that I could make a noise. It was a sharp and shrill sound that seemed to resonate inside my head and then would be outside of me.

Whenever I did this, the deep blue/dark gold would slowly come back into view and suddenly rise back onto the dimly yellow.
