Why are you growin' up so fast

My boy?

(...)

Oh, you'd better take your time

My boy.

I thought we had just begun.

Why are you growin' up so fast

My son?

- Neil Young -

Having a baby allows you to take the time to really look at things. What is the baby staring at for ages with such great fascination? A play of light, of colors? The whole is broken down into single pieces, beautiful fragments - a sense for detail that we have lost. But have we? Or are those memories of our first reflections still inside us? Using a baby's perspective means taking aside patterns and common ideas of things and look at them anew. To reveal details that maybe allow us to see the whole in a new light.
