Why else would they have legs if not to walk someday? Why mouths if not to eventually eat? The other baby counters with scepticism, demanding empirical evidence and rejecting anything that contradicts their immediate experience as logically impossible.This simple story invites us to consider how our perspective shapes what we believe is possible. Like these babies contemplating a world they cannot yet comprehend, we too may benefit from moments of stillness—pausing our busyness to listen deeply for truths that exist beyond our current understanding. Whether you identify with the faithful or sceptical baby, this parable offers a gentle reminder that sometimes wisdom comes not from certainty but from quiet openness to mystery.What might you hear in your moments of stillness? Take time today to listen for what exists beyond the boundaries of your current perception.Drop us a lineSupport the show
