FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND: "The most unfathomable schools and sages have never attained to the gravity which dwells in the eyes of a baby of three months old. It is the gravity of astonishments at the universe, and astonishment at the universe is not mysticism, but a transcendent common-sense. The fascination of children lies in this: that with each of them all things are remade, and the universe is put again upon its trial. As we walk the streets and see below us those delightful bulbous heads, three times too big for the body, which mark these human mushrooms, we ought always primarily to remember that within every one of these heads there is a new universe, as new as it was on the seventh day of creation In each of those orbs there is a new system of stars, new grass, new cities, a new sea." from G. K. Chesterton's "Baby Worship"
QUOTE II: "When you're thirty, when you're fifty, when you're eighty, you are not going to remember five talks that changes your life. But you'll remember five people that did and the way that they loved you." Mark Hart from the video below.

I met a very grave 8 month old a few weeks ago. The family has enough kids that they swarm and Clare is the first girl. Her mom said they're naughty but I reminded her that without their naughtiness the sweet moments wouldn't be as memorable.
