What one piece of advice would you offer to a newborn infant? ("65 Deep Philosophical Questions" by Operation-Meditation. retrieved at http://operationmeditation.com/discover/65-deep-philosophical-questions/)
I would tell Bright Eye's looking up at me to grow persistently and respect your brain. My father always reminded me to take care of my teeth--you only have the one last set, he would say. I think like teeth we tend to take our brains for granted abusing them a thousand ways, sometimes damaging them irreversibly. Additionally, I would stress the need to be like a live oak--holding one's ground from nut to towering oak while growing persistently shooting forth new leaves and branches. Then I would "sing" this lullaby.
The Captain - Edelweiss lyrics
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
