I was walking in the park few days ago and I saw a mom with her little boy, about three years old and he was stacking his stones according to her instructions. He looked for the ones he liked best, but he tried to put on the oval ones and they collapsed, so he opted for the slate rocks. In the end he put the most "zen" of them on the top for a final touch. I took the photo after they left.

This photo made me sad. The baby looks unhappy, and I don't like to see unhappy babies. But the dealer told me it is rare to see a photo of a black Cuban child from this era (he himself is black) and he insisted I take it for my collection.
It is wonderful seeing toddlers in the street. How small they are! And what set of priorities do they introduce? How will they shape the future? And, yes, life will go on. Leica M Mono, Voigtlander CS 2.2/50.

Actually I think before we grew into "reasoning beings", (the thing that makes us unique), we only craved need. As infants without reasoning abilities, hard to know if we felt love or just need. Closeness or love instinctively means safety, and that was all we "needed" before reason made us self-conscious, aware, or the word bandied around lately, we became "woke".
I think we are more than chunks of meat with firing neurons, the ability to "reason" about our place in the universe makes each of us special among all life forms. Our uniqueness gives me reason to suspect none of this is just a random quirk of nature. Was there nothingness before awareness, and will there be nothingness after? I don't think so, otherwise what's the point? Too many things have had to happen over time beyond our comprehension to be just luck or chance. We are part of something special. The natural man is a beast, cruel beyond anything else in nature. We have thousands of years of history to look back on to see the truth of that. Right now the world of man (and woman of course) is at a time of peace and prosperity never know before. We're at a precipice, do we continue to lift humanity to even greater heights, or revert to our bloody, enslaved past? Did God roll the dice on mankind, and was everything for nothing. We have free agency and reason, are we up to the task?
What a ramble, sorry for getting carried away. Just wanted to post a picture. ;>)
Audrey is turning two tomorrow. My folks sent her this awesome chair. We let her open it early because we were already on a video chat with them -- it was fun. Clearly she loves it... thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
