A mother’s intimate, philosophical letters to her daughter unfold across time and seasons, beginning with “Year Zero” in northern Tanzania and moving through memories of Northern Europe and the meaning of November. The writing reflects on fear of non-existence, the exception of life, and the fragile timing of saying what must be said before it is too late. It explores love, forgiveness, motherhood’s honest flaws, and the deliberate choice to keep one’s own life, hopes, and agency alongside a child’s future.

[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com) The eternity of non-existence, as it was before we were born, surely, is no shorter than the one that we encounter again, after death. We fear the nonexistence that comes after life, but rarely consider the completely improbable, the quite unbelievable fact, that we somehow managed to take form and step out of nothingness for some time. The life we are given is an exception to the rule. [OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com) YEAR ZERO FEBRUARY. At home. Oldonyo sambu, northern Tanzania. I have discovered the speck of you, at the line of the slightly crooked horizon. APRIL. As for you, I never knew how much I had missed you. Now I find it hard to wait for your arrival. To see your face, for the first time. There are some things I must write now, saying them later, could become difficult. Also, if I don’t say them now, I may forget, or maybe, when the time would have been just right, I can’t. People die, or worse, they get caught up in things less important and put them aside indefinitely. I don’t think we should take that risk; it is bad enough that I will not have time enough here to discuss matters with you, when you have lived to the full. As I sit here on my isolated hill in northern Tanzania and wonder who you will become, I look out through my tent doors. Our neighbours, who live in a boma on the next hill, a few kilometres away, are from the Waarusha tribe. When the chiefs heard you are on your way, the other day, they and some of the warriors slaughtered a goat just outside. We drank some of its still warm blood, to celebrate your coming arrival. May the generosity, the respect, the life, death and love in this action, give you power through the years that you are about to own on this earth. Forgive me for my weakness if sometimes, on these pages, I portray myself in a better light than what is palatable. Forgive me again, for my vanity, if I paint a darker picture of myself, than what is true. Only Munguporini, as the almighty one is called in Swahili, if you believe in the god of the bush, knows how you will feel about me later. I do know, that I will love you fiercely and show you what I imagine tobe true, whilst also squeezing as much life as possible out of my own timeorange here. It seems some people think it’s natural that a mother should give up all manners of things vital to her, for the sake of the child. I cannot afford that, and neither can you. No human is strong enough to not resent a little that thing or person whom she thinks put a stop to her reaching her goals. No, I will not offer you such a devastating and false generosity. Instead, I will take your han
