So they say giving birth is like breathing life into the world.Well on this day the world should be fully stocked with air. So as I was making my way onto campus via the BART, I noticed a lady who was expecting sitting right in front of me. I could tell that she was glowing and in a very happy mood, it was written all over her face. I thought such a beautiful sight (maybe one day) :-). Then to my surprise another woman boarded the BART who was expecting, I figured when does that happen seeing back-to-back pregnant women. These days anything is possible. So my first initial thought was "oh that is so precious...", but that thought would soon begin to dissipate. Fast forward...Soooooo twenty minutes into the trip, (on my car alone) I would encounter 5 PREGNANT women of various ages and backgrounds....I'm thinking two pregnant women, coincidence, BUT 5 within that brief amount of time...CREEPY!! This began to scare me just a little bit. It was as though I had an invisible sign or magnet that drew them into my direction. Was this an indirect sign that my time is coming soon, was someone close to me going to share some joyous news, or was it simply just another day on the BART. I would like to think option two, but who knows these days. Now my other fear was that one or more of the women on the train would go into labor (that would be a sight to see right there). Thank goodness that did not happen, because Lord knows today would not have been the day to play doctor. I know one thing is for sure life has a funny way of getting a point across. What that point was today is still a mystery, but at least I can say that I witnessed the carrier of life from every age, color, and shade. Best of luck to each of those women!!
You know there is this saying that when you see several cases of something, like the fact that there were several pregnant women on the BART in one car, "there must be something in the water..."
So as I got off the train to head to campus... I had to ask myself is the water really safe to drink?
