Water...

My 4 month-old cousin was baptized today.

Surrounded by loving relatives and a joyous congregation, Little Man didn't even fuss: just took it all in with his (from what they tell me) usual wide-eyed curiosity that he seems to view everything in this world, protesting only when the pastor anointed him with three splashes of water.

Seems like I've heard a million platitudes about "going back to your inner child" or wishing they could "see life like a child again."

Me? I get pleasure in knowing this little person is seeing life anew. Finding their own purpose; hopefully a positive purpose. And in that, perhaps be someone who makes a difference for all of us.

And that's enough for me.
