KEEP IT LIKE A SECRET

About

When someone is born two new realities are always inaugurated: that of a baby and that of those who welcome him and are faced with what to give, show or tell who has just come into this world knowing nothing or almost nothing. How to receive in the best way possible this new family member and introduce him to the mysteries of life? Where do we start with this beautiful sleeping creature? With a toy for him to see, with something fragrant to smell? We can give him an apple, a leaf or show a bit of snow. But will he understand? All he knows is still very little, although he already knows that wants someone holding him tight. Perhaps the best is to search all that we want to share about this world and save it in songs, keeping everything as a secret that only to him can be trusted, so he knows it is something special, something good this his first day on earth.
