Mankind is in a remarkable position. We live in a universe of
physical and metaphysical laws, a place of harmonious arrangements of
multitudes of diverse creatures. But, the remarkable thing I mean is
that we humans take a look around and say: “Well, this is certainly a
harmonious arrangement of multitudes of diverse creatures we have here,” like
we’d just arrived, and it was new and different.
Sometimes people will comment on the fact that baby animals
can walk almost immediately, whereas human children take almost a year to
figure it out. I don’t think this is a sign of human weakness. I think the baby
is approaching gravity on more equal terms than the foal. The foal walks
because that’s how it is. The baby, however, requires time to consider this new
and interesting proposal. And the same goes for time.
