Connection is all that is actual.
Even if someone is holding you, most of that is in your head.
Mostly empty space, yet all interconnected.
That illusion, connection!

Hold babies. And listen to music, perhaps.

"Continuum Concept" Liedloff 1974
Us modern folks aren't held enough as babies.

a colored pencil illustration of a woman giving birth in a hospital. a doctor is holding the newborn, who is about to be taken from their mother to rest. . the piece is from the perspective of the newborn. they have been taken from their home in a process that nearly killed them into a cold room filled with loud signs sounds, harsh lights, and weird smells. the newborn is tired, is emotional, is confused, and is being held by an unfamiliar stranger wearing uncomfortable materials. they are being held against their will and do not know what will happen to them. . for more information on this perspective, i recommend reading "The Primal Scream" by psychologist Arthur Janov, phd. i also recommend reading "The Continuum Concept" by Jean Liedloff. --- Una ilustración a lápiz de color de una mujer dando a luz en un hospital. Un médico sostiene al recién nacido, que está a punto de ser separado de su madre para descansar. La obra está vista desde la perspectiva del recién nacido. Ha sido arrancado de su hogar en un proceso que casi le cuesta la vida y llevado a una habitación fría, llena de ruidos fuertes, luces intensas y olores extraños. El recién nacido está cansado, emocionado, confundido y en brazos de un desconocido que viste ropa incómoda. Lo sostienen contra su voluntad y no sabe qué le depara el futuro. Para más información sobre esta perspectiva, recomiendo leer "El grito primal" del psicólogo Arthur Janov, PhD. También recomiendo leer "El concepto del continuo" de Jean Liedloff.

Two other books that significantly influenced my views on human learning and development were “The Continuum Concept: In Search of Happiness Lost” by Jean Liedloff, and “My Ishmael” by Daniel Quinn.
