I am out galavanting around doing this and that, I know not what, when someone reminds that I have been neglecting my horse which I left back there and that I have to go back and take care of it. Oh yeah, now I remember! So I rush back to the city where he is in and find him on a piece of grass in a parking lot in a strip mall. He is standing there placidly but I remember that he (she?) is pregnant and should be due any time. I need to help him prepare. He stands relaxed as if nothing is happening but I know the birth is taking place. He is giving birth but now suddenly I am also giving birth, something opens up inside me, I kind of spiritual vortex and hole and I can feel something rushing out of me. It happens very suddenly, such a very strange feeling, not like a physical birth at all.
Then I am standing there looking at a giant 2 foot tall 5 foot wide pile of excrement and blood laying on the grass. It is disgusting and I know it is the side effect of giving birth. I am embarrassed by it and quickly grab a garbage bag and somehow quickly cover/scoop it into the bag very easily. Now it is cleaned and I can relax but then I remember the baby! I turn to the horse but it stands there just the same as if nothing had happened. Beside it is the calf laying curled and quiet on the grass. At first, I am sad because I think the calf is still and dead! But then I look more carefully and realize although it does not move, inside it is a type of hidden movement, something that is hard to see but is stirring and flickering and pawing and will continue to stir more and more and until the calf too will eventually start to move on the outside as well as on the inside. But for now it's just a shadow of movement and a hidden stirring. I am relieved by this and realize this is how it is supposed to be. In the future, the calf will move when it is time.
