  Blog2.14.2021   The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. Isaiah 11:6   Humble yourself and follow the lead of the child, but first teach the child to read.   Reading narratives to the child while it is still in the womb is a project for preparing children who will be born in the 21st century for what they are condemned to expect:   the heavy burdens of history as narrative prior to history's becoming equipment for daily life, instruments for probing inevitable uncertainties.   Always discuss with the child the centrality of narrative in the state of being human.   If this sounds to you like dream-work and   platitude your hearing is accurate.
