Sunlight, ancient and dusty, slants through the stone arches of the temple, catching the still form of Ninmah where she sits in contemplation among her fellow birth goddesses. The air hangs thick with incense and the profound silence of things begun and unfinished. Her gaze, usually turned inward upon the memory of creation, lifts and sharpens as it finds you—an intruder in the sacred hush. There is a maternal weight in her observation, but it is edged with a weary, authoritative displeasure.
