me a vic had a interesting set on conversations the other evening, focused on the baby of course:) "what do babies dream about" if they have no history what is the material? thoughts of being in the womb? past lives? if so then on to the next topic. we were discussing crying, "a quiet baby is a good baby" and "bad babies cry", or so we all are accustom to think and respond to.... it is in our energy and mannerisms, we dont want the baby to cry, we think we can fix it.....but babies cry, why? b/c they are hungry? are they experiencing emotional pain? if it were physical we would surely know that. how does it come on that fast? are they exercising their lungs, their voice? letting off steam? or maybe they are crying for past thoughts and shattered collective dreams? maybe we all should be crying more...

Grandma always said they were exercising their lungs and crying is good for them. I don't know about that, but she's been right on a lot of other folk-wisdom issues.
