« The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child. The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood. His intercourse with heaven and earth, becomes part of his daily food. »

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

« When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers,
The moon and the stars that you have prepared,
What is mortal man that you keep him in mind,
And a son of man that you take care of him? »

― David (Psalms 8: 3-4)

There is a gateway to Paradise on the summit of Glishorn Mountain, in the Valais region of Switzerland.

Those who wish to reach it must traverse a perilous aerial path.

I hesitate to post this pic because I don't want to break the internet 🙂

He fell asleep in my lap like this last night. It was great for him but not so good for a middle-aged guy sitting directly on the floor, unable to move for about an hour because he's trapped under the cutest kitten in the world.

raiaren,

My 6-yr old asked one of the BIG questions the other day.

"Daddy, why do we live?"

Knowing that he's being influenced by the ubiquitous botherers, I responded:

"Because of , little buddy. Kind of like the lightbulbs in our house, we all have a in us that runs through our and . When that spark goes out, we die."

He thought a bit about that, and then came the next BIG question:

"What happens when we "?

I carried the analogy further and told him:

"We become a part of the electricity that runs through the entire that let's everything live. Which is super important, because without that electricity, nothing would live."

Long pause ... "And, is that , Daddy"?

I replied: "Well, nobody knows for sure, but a lot of really people think it is."
