Damar turns two today in Jakarta. She is my daughter, being raised there by Aelenun, who is her other mother and who stayed in Jakarta when I did not. I am in Mexico City watching the light change on stone, eight thousand kilometers from where my child is becoming two years old. I know today is the day because Aelenun will have told me, or I will have marked it myself, in the careful way we track these things across borders and time zones. She is steady now, Damar is. Steadier than she was. I can feel it even from here, the way you feel a shift in weight you're no longer bearing.
