| Soemone asked me, Why are you up at 3 in the morning.
I answered. Because a baby was crying. They said, Is it your baby? I said, "I guess it is now.. for a little while at least.. would you like to help me care for it?" |
| Why do people let a baby die? An 18
month old? Why would someone let his idea die? What if
the "baby" could talk? What would the space
say? - I feel abandoned. I need you. Please don't leave me. Please come back. How would we feel if the baby cried? Would we feel guilty, defensive or would we feel empathy? It might also say... - I don't feel loved. I don't feel care about. I don't feel important. I felt loved sometimes, but not enough to save me. I felt important sometimes, but not enough to save me. I felt cared about sometimes, but not enough to save me. I am dying. Please love me. Please care about me. Please listen to me. Please give me what I need. If you listen to me, I will tell you what I need. Please listen. Please care. Please help me. Please don't let me die. What would I say to the baby? - I am sorry sweetheart. Your parents loved you but they need to do something else right now. I am very sorry. Would you like me to try to save you? Maybe if my friends and I can help you now your parents will come back when they have done what they need to do. Would you like that? |

| Babies have needs. Spaces don't. So we can change them to fit our needs. They are more like a "blank slate". Babies are not a blank slate because they have needs. |

| A stranger came along one day and
found the baby crying. The stranger was from another
culture. The stanger stood close, but at a certain
distance. Just close enough to hear and feel what was
going on. Some of the local people came to care for the baby. Some came to use it for their own purposes, without caring about its needs. The stranger saw the baby smile. The stranger thoght "This is a beautiful baby. So precious. Such beautiful eyes. Such a sweet smile." |

First journal writing
| Last night I saw a medical student
smoking. Is she educated? Intelligent? Why does she hurt her own body? Why do teenagers cut themselves? What is more important? Love or education? Why do people in Sao Paulo spend so much of their lives trying to make money? Why do they spend so much of their money trying to dress a certain way? Tomorrow is "Independence Day" in the USA? But are the people there actually free? Yesterday I talked to someone who can make 2,000 BR without a university degree. They get 3% commission on whatever they sell. They can buy clothes for themselves at a 40% discount. So I would assume the mark up is at least 40% for the regular prices. The store sells its own brand of clothes.They sell it in other cities. I have also met people in SP who get rewarded 1,000 or even less with a 4 year university degree from what people tell me is the best or one of the best universities in the country. One girl working in a shoe store said she makes 1.8 percent commission. People are nice to me in Sao Paulo. They smile. The girls stand close to me. They aren't afraid. |
