Mom bought a bear for M's baby today. It made me think how children form bonds so naturally, attach, and count things precious.
I remember what life was like. I was always ready to be smitten. Ready to love anything beautiful, or helpless or interesting (even if it was ugly).
I've been considering my self-protectiveness, its survival value as well as its tendency to selfishness and rot. I form my attachments much more carefully now, but any attachment is a risk. And I feel that.
And sometimes I forget that it is worth the risk.
