Do you know what I find a true miracle? The fact that the little dwarf, my son, over here:
in about 16 years turns into that:
This is the same being, the same body, the same entity. I mean, this is truly amazing, how these forces of nature work, all by themselves. Incredible. Growth and all of these processes just happen.
Also ageing. It just keeps happening. I do not see this part as a such a beautiful miracle.
Well, tomorrow I am of for a three-day Zen sesshin. Basically three days of sitting in silence, attempting to be present here and now. And nothing else. And I love that immensely.
Of course I could not resist and I invited my son to come with me and enjoy the inner silence. What do you think the answer was? 
You didn’t tell me your son was a DANCER? He’s amazing. And the video is perfect, whoever put that awesomeness together.

Thanks, I told him about your comment. And he did that video alone, you know, with his little camera on a tripod and a bit of work on computer. Nowadays these kids can do everything with the computers just like that, in no time. Except when their dad needs some help with, for instance, synchronizing his new phone with Outlook or reinstalling a printer or some other USEFUL things. In cases like this they can not help at all
