The saving grace of humanity, the one thing that makes mankind worthwhile, is the children. Childhood (and possibly art).
Above, one of mine, playing with fire. I am stupid proud of him.
It is very weird indeed the way our children go ahead and make good some of our unfulfilled ambitions - firejuggling was/is something I have really wanted to learn. Although not something I would have pressurised him to take up, to be sure, or suggested, or even thought. Had I verbalised some unfulfilled ambition of mine he could've (in my view) gone to fulfill, it probably would've been something duller like grabbing a couple of PhD's or similar boring stuff.
That said, I am stupid proud of him.
PS Later: He has just given me a private fire show - do check out the photos

I looked at flick'r: gorgeous boy, gorgeous fire.
Hey hun, thank you - yes, isn't he the clever one. Funny how I don't seem to feel all that worried. It's most unlike me.
