Always
What’s funny maybe funny isn’t the right word what is absolutely incomprehensible and also as common as day as common as breath what’s funny is how this one month old girl who is life itself how she has changed all the lives of those around her by her very existence. What surprises me as I get older (and even older) is how much I thought I once understood. And how obliviously many of us walk through life. Is there another way? I was NOT a philosophy major (Peter was).
Birth of a child birth of thousands of children what she needs to live what do they need besides love? Love and food work one day some good friends. We often run in circles. Friend so scheduled he doesn’t have time to watch French murder mystery Spiral dreams of the day when he can sit and sit and drink his lattes. We are all trying to make sense of what does not lend itself to logic maybe if you are a mathematician scientist person who believes in the ability to understand what birth means how it feels to sit and watch a baby sleep maybe if you are someone who thinks life is about answers. And now here I am sitting near a tree so beautiful it is more than a tree still only a tree here I am trying to tell you what it means that a baby is nearby. When there is always a tree, and a baby nearby. .
