Blake

To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. William Blake, from "Auguries of Innocence"

Viewing Time and Space Through the Looking Glass

Dear Daughter,

Papa came back from his short trip to London and brought you some booty from across the Channel. We checked them out last evening and already put them to use.

I had forgotten that I did not have stuff for your lunch for school, so we had to walk over to the store to get things, so, we got to use your new Compass to help figure out which direction we were going.


And, you were able to use your new Magnifying Glass to read the letters indicating that we were going SE or SouthEast.


And, then, after making a card for your friend and looking at the other things Papa brought back from London, I told you that it was Time to go to bed, and showed you on your Pocket Watch, (since you can never keep your hands of Papa's fancy pocket watch) so you can now begin to tell Time as well, which you also looked at with your Magnifying Glass.


I hope you enjoy learning all about Time and Space with these things and as you already do, to look closer at the world around you.

I Love You,
Papa

Making Space

Dear Daughter,

Big day for you!

Your first loose tooth. Well, soon the baby teeth will begin to come out and you will start to get new ones growing in.

You said that you did not like it that you will loose the teeth, but I told you that in order to get your big girl teeth you need to loose the baby teeth. Because, remember that you cannot have two teeth in the same Space at the same Time.

To that you shrugged your shoulders and sighed, "yes, Papa, I guess you're right..."

So, time to begin making room for new things by getting rid of the old.

I Love You,

Papa
