Instinct driven afternoon play
The draping of cloth
across the back of the couch
"The sheet keeps slipping!"

It's in us....ALL of us...

"From when they first begin to walk and talk and become truly cultural beings, young human children are naturally cooperative and helpful in many—though obviously not all—situations,"

Now...if only we could retain it as instinct.

The desire to engage in the support of a child very literally means the desire to support a community. Literally.  Even those "demonized" by the "civil".  For the good of the most vulnerable. 

No need to be scared about equal access to life support.

And don't forget to allow hands to dirty as much as possible throughout the day.
Especially with good clean soil.
It's of vital importance.
