Happy Sunday morning sweeties,

Take a look at this while you drink your morning coffee. I find this document of a young being, fascinating. “More”.

Anya is just learning to interact. She learned to point about a month ago. She points and things are brought to her. It is a measure of her interest. It means “More! This is Interesting.” When she sees herself in videos she shows a level of enrapture and focus that I never have. Her constant pointing is kind of like saying “WTF!, OMG! This is so utterly fantastically cool. “

In one Zen Buddhist Narrative, babies are enlightened beings who have not yet unlearned enlightenment.

I see that quality in Anya’s rapt attention, like a pool without ripples.
