review 1: No more calls tonight, folks, we have a winner. As Jodie puts the finishing touch on her drawing of a duck, her baby brother pushes to his feet and takes his first... step.FREEZE.An ambulance goes by.A feather from the pigeon nesting in the eaves floats past the window.Phones ring "in a thousand offices and pockets."A soldier says goodbye to his mom.And a dozen other things happen, a dozen everyday, unimportant, momentous, miraculous things happen as Jonathan's foot travels through the air and before Jodie calls to her mother, who rushes in and scoops him into her arms.And right NOW a baby is taking his first step, and a soldier says goodbye to his mom and a feather falls. And right now, and right NOW.SNIFFLE.

What a fun exploration to do... less
