∞ I am (and no one is) ‘some age’. This idea, in language, is utterly wrong. Each person is, in fact, every moment of their childhood. Every child I have been… is in each moment of me. Every teen. Every young adult. Like a tree, I am a »spiral wrapped around my infancy. That infancy is »the living root of my being, not a memory. Not a number far away. I am all my ages. In each moment, a child within me sees and suffers every insult and abuse the adults deny and pretend are good, necessary, true, or even alive. And it is the child in me that both knows the lie and learns… to speak… … something more like the truth than »any adult will allow… … because the fictions they live by cannot survive… … the arrival of the child they are, I am, we are… born to be and live as… … with all of Life on Earth… and in the Sky. What is in the first 9 months of life is ‘all of the children in all of time’. Not days, calendars, marks… and words. And what is born on the day of your birth is beyond all possible words, religions, science and models. You are the child of the sky, and all of living time. Anew in every moment.
