Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Our grandson, the younger one, a little over a year, is experiencing an explosion of language.  Every day he knows many new words.  Today he said girl, boy, tractor, rock, cop (helicopter) and more.  He doesn't seem to tackle any s words, like sheep, but he can baaa with the best of them.  No sentences yet, but he follows instructions so well, when he chooses, that we know his vocabulary is expanding rapidly.  His intelligence is firing on all cylinders.  It's great to witness, just as seeing the two year old grandson Tuesday and Wednesday dealing with complex sentences and ideas was exciting.  The mind is an amazing thing, though the heart is what truly blows me away.  They love passionately and with absolute trust.  As we grow we get leery, but the little ones show us our Buddha nature.  They are the best of humanity.
