The World we live in
I sit often holding our new son, Noah Efrain and wonder about the state of affairs in our world. Sometimes one can feel so insignificant in "the big picture" , in the "grand scheme of things." So much violence, injustice, unrest, suppression, oppression, and obsession. Wars rage on, hunger continues, homelessness ignored. Politicians, dictators, governments make deals, commit misdeeds and all unknown to us. Sometimes even known to us.
So I wonder in the big picture where do I fit. A cog in the big machine. Where will Noah Efrain find his place in this enormous world.
Sometimes its easy to get caught up in the everyday grind, routine or rut. Easy to put your head down and complain about our mundane lives. Oh how "hard" we have it or grumble about our commutes or what ever inconveniences we face on a daily basis. I'm guilty of this as well. Somehow looking at this little face reminds me how good life is. How I do enjoy this world with all its problems. How happy and fortunate I truly am.

In answer to your question as to where will Noah-Efrain finds his place in this world, he seems to be gesturing with his finger to his head, "that's something to think about". Nice photo.
