No time for?

The nun is a handful, need a cigarette.

Every stage of life is meant for something.  When a person is born the newborn is nurtured by its mother until the age of about two years old.  Infants are pretty much at the mercy of their parents (caretaker).  For babies to grow healthy and strong they stay with their mother and receive food and rest from her.  When that a re small humans tend to need more sleep than when they get older.

Hungry for knowledge

Help me, hold me, protect me.

From the age of two to four babies are now toddlers are at a constantly out to explore their surroundings.   Right before this time is the time for the parents to baby proof the house and make sure that the area around the child is as safe as can be for the child to be in.  This is the age of discovery and the children touches and tastes everything.  For the toddler no area is off limits.  This is a time when children make messes and get in to trouble.

As children grow from the age of five to twelve toddlers become adolescents and are part of the called "tweens"  act grown up but are still too young.  At this age humans are able to think but still are children with their feelings in a clutter.  I remember talking a person with adult children, years back.  This person said to me "little children little problem, big children big problems".

After the "tweens" come the teenage years a time when children go through puberty and begin to notice the "opposite sex."  Some teenagers attend parochial school run by the church the belong to.  The teachers tend to be nuns, monks and priests young and old.  Some of the people are confused to begin with and tend to pass on their dilemmas on to children the assigned to care for.

Spellbound...I am yours Master.

Teenagers grow into adults and many times remember their past.  The image of the covered up young nun never goes away.  In religious circles it is a sin to think of a nun in any other way than, just a servant of God.  Adults tend to remember their past and as the grow older and accumulate wealth, the tend to want to fulfill their childhood dreams.  There is always a fascination people and stuff you cannot see clearly.  The Nuns are always a wonder.  Why a person would remove themselves from society and devote themselves wholly to a spirit baffles other people yet it is respectable..

Adults are able to do more things because they are older and recognized as being able to make up  their own mind.  Adults are now subject to all the ramifications of the law.  Life is like a wheel, going round from birth to death and all over again.  From being nurtured to nurturing.  Learn ing is ongoing it only stops upon death and that we are not yet sure.
