Your baby photos exist because someone thought you were worth remembering before you’d done anything at all.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Those photographs exist before any achievement did. Nobody was recording a result; somebody simply decided you were worth having pictures of, which means your value did not start with anything you accomplished and does not depend on continuing to accomplish things. That is a plain fact about your life rather than a reassurance.

On a week where you feel like you are only as good as your last result, go and look at them. Then be that reliable to somebody smaller than you. That is where the next set of baby photos comes from.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
