Not Familiar

When he is spoken to, he has next to no idea what is being said. He hears the voice, he knows something mysterious is being passed along, but he lacks the experience and knowledge to understand it. However, more importantly than understanding on rational basis, it's plainly obvious that he fully understands, and is calmed and reassured by, what is being communicated on an intuitive basis: that the attention and time spent passes along love and a sense of belonging.

I wish that sounded familiar in the way mentioned in my post, "Malachi". I believe it is possible.

Nice article in CT

As roundly concise and clear an overview of what emerging is all about as I've come across, nice smooth read, too.

Check out the first comment under it though, the hairs stood up on the back of my neck...

Malachi

He seems to have only fleeting moments of recognition, a shadow from above, voices, somewhat identifiable, inexplicable highs and lows. Sometimes his cries result in his wish being answered, other times not. Driven by the overwhelming instincts to eat and sleep and be warm and clean, he will soon embark on the challenge of discovering you can't always get what you want. But one way or the other, if you cry, what you need seems to get supplied. Most of the time. And when not there is nothing worse, and no explanation. But he has to choose to trust anyways.

He sounds familiar, right?
