..but i am no closer in understanding where babies actually come from...:

I didn't see a bright star in the east, so I think we'll have to assume that it was the traditional way.

Many thanks for all the kind comments, fatherhood really is the delight everyone has been telling me about....

..but i am no closer in understanding where babies actually come from...not in the superficial biological facts, common-sense, sort of way but in the deeper philosopical sense.....some say babies 'come into the world' but I dont think that is correct- came from where?..what is outside the world?
They seem to emerge from the world, from some groundswell of being which our narrowly focused conscious attention has trouble comprehending.....
Apologies for this self indulgence...be warned all you fatherless ones, staring into your babies eyes does tend to have this kind of effect

Just you wait until you start knowing what the boy wants or thinks without him telling you properly. Now that is spooky. It's like a detachment of yourself. Which it is I suppose.[/QUOTE]

What do you mean "I suppose?" You're not having doubts are you?
