bliss

The Wednesday quotation, part XV: Gilles Deleuze on immanence:
Very small children all resemble one another and have hardly any individuality, but they have singularities: a smile, a gesture, a funny face--not subjective qualities. Small children, through all their sufferings and weaknesses, are infused with an immanent life that is pure power and even bliss. (Immancence: A Life, 30)

Parenthood hasn't dulled your sense of humor.

But mostly I wanted to say: aw!

JBM Jr. is looking decidedly not amused but very sweet. :)
