The brain (Identity)

BBELLA: When I was stuck in bed for 5 years, my little one (born the same year I was first attacked by the illness) fascinated me and taught me many things I could have never realized on my own and never would have if not stuck in bed with plenty of time to ask questions and listen. [...]-"Dark is in-between all the light." This was a musing of hers during a day sitting with me on our deck watching the horses eat grass in the field. I thought she was speaking of shadows so I asked her to point to the dark that she was talking about, and she looked up to the sky and then raised her hands up and all around and said it's everywhere in-between everything and wondered why I couldn't see it. Dark Matter? Who knows. It's what her brain was telling her! 
I'm still pondering as well....-Absolutely brilliant! If your little one had still been little, we could have got her and my grandson together, and they would have compiled a book of wise sayings (with you and me acting as their secretaries). -Your analysis of these intuitive insights may be right. The image I like to use is that of the city covering the earth beneath. The child is much closer to Nature than the adult, but gradually the man-made world takes over.
