Mellow

According to a very slim volume on Buddhism, we have two kinds of fears, one is that whatever is going on is going to go on forever: the spiral, the other is that even if it doesn't go on forever, the pain of whatever is happening will be so terrible we won't be able to bear it: the giant.

Apparently babies can sense your state of mind.

This was quite a revelation.

In forty years I don't ever remember having this Mr. Spock-like quality.

Apparently if a baby is very fussy and the fussiness is freaking out the parent, that will further harsh the baby: the spiral.

I took some time last night/this morning to get me head together.

He's a Capricorn, born in the year of the Hare.

I'm a Capricorn/Boar, his mother is an Aquarius/Snake.

We're getting him to eat better: the source of my anxiety.

There will be other anxieties over the years.

I hope to be able to roll with them better with time.
