The Star




I wonder sometimes about the celebrity that is Roby. She’s a star wherever she goes, with whoever she meets, whatever she does. Her electricity is undeniable and fantastic. Rooms seem hotter when she is in them, rains fall straighter, clocks slow, sounds are amplified, she is a point of charisma so focused and direct it might collapse into a literal star at any moment. I’m sufficiently wrapped up in bias that I can’t say wether or not this is an objective fact, or just a feeling common to everyone I’ve met since mid-October, 2023. 

What is it about babies that we love so well? Their boundless truthfulness, their total unabashed honesty with themselves and everyone around them, their curiosity and their tenderness. They laugh better than anyone, and they’d likely do it even if everybody were deaf. They’d cry without us in the room, they’d play wether or not we were watching, they enjoy milk. 

I think honesty is the central bit to what makes a baby so good, not just honesty with everyone around them, being incapable of deceit, but honesty with themselves. 

A baby cannot try.
