babes

out of the mouths of…

the first three of an onslaught of responses received from children

what joy!

this first one either says ‘mom’ or it is a sun with two birds …and a whole bunch of other great stuff!

my friends KEEP me human

shoes! of course! yes!

horseshoes don’t count, and while quite possibly useful, those little dog booties i see about town are too undignified to acknowledge

 

my thanks to the kiddies who, without any surprise, find light and positivity

stay tuned…there are many more kids to weigh in

hi there!

this is actually the very first ‘what makes you human?’ postcard to have arrived some weeks ago

it came close from home

communication is not reserved for humans alone

 

…miscommunication

leaving a creative mark

recorded history

testing (…abusing perhaps these days) the boundaries of communication

having an opinion

taking a stand

this is human

 

and it all starts with a ‘hi there!’

more words

 

two cards mysteriously appeared on my desk in recent days

i feel the angst of civil servitude

(that could just be me)

i like very much that this answer is an equation

symbols. the writing of equations. that feels human

the content of this equation is intriguing

this brings into question for me the emotional intelligence and self-awareness of animals other than humans

we think abstractly. we consume. we hate. we justify. we generate dogma.

that feels quite dark yet an undeniable human cycle

the other traits i feel we share with animals. we have a leg up with humour i suppose, though i once knew a hilarious sarcastic black lab-ish dog

 

i know for certain to soon expect some postcards from children

i am without doubt that children will provide the best answers

i cannot wait!

 

happy spring holiday to all!
