Gray Area
I write a lot about Baby J's firsts but really there usually isn't a single first instance of anything. Not for walking, not for words, not for the first day of school. Everything involved with a child's growth and development seems to be a gradual transition. There is no sudden walking, no sudden words, etc. No stark black and white. At least not for Baby J. For her, everything blends from one stage to another in a large swath of gray. I'm guessing it's like this at every moment in a child's life. Even in utero.

Stephen Hawking - “The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.”
ReplyDeleteStephen Hawking also said human beings all need to leave Earth as soon as possible if we want to survive as a species. Sound like a crackpot idea to me but who knows. Maybe one day Baby J will go to college in space.
