Looking...

A couple who are close friends just had a baby. A little boy.

Your host does have a weak spot for three life occasions: Weddings, births, and a reasonable decision by government. Of these, I think births are probably the most poignant.

To me, each birth is a possibility that maybe, just maybe this little person has the answers leading us to some new sort of way in this old tired world. A way closer to what the reasonable among us are hoping for (and the guy writing "5 Pairs" seems to be finding): Good will among men. Appreciation of differences in each of us. And most importantly, peace between us all.

So I look at the face of each baby I see or think about the ones I hear about and wonder, "Are you the one who will bring about what we need?"

Guess all I'm really looking for, is hope.
