“The sensorimotor stage is the earliest in Piaget's theory of cognitive development. He described this period as a time of tremendous growth and change. According to Piaget, developing object permanence is one of the most important accomplishments at the sensorimotor stage of development. Imagine a game of peek-a-boo, for example. ... Older infants who understand object permanence will realize that the person or object continues to exist even when unseen. Most infants develop this concept between 6 and 12 months.”

The Swiss scientist Piaget

has left us with nothing to say.

            Even if we don’t seek,

            even if we don’t peek,

Corona is still in full play.

The peek-a-boo game pleases babies,

but COVID is risky as rabies.

            If we can’t get tested,

            it can’t be arrested,

an outcome with no buts or maybes.

Good morning Romania!

Swimming through concrete or limestone needs no words.

Note my pink-laced shoe peeking into the shot as I work to get the entire word into the frame.

Bit of a cheat here:  this is actually ENTREE, but the tape has worn off the first two letters.

Good advice in any language.

Hello Romania! In the last two days someone in Romania--maybe even several someones--has looked through this blog. A lot. Many times! Hello, hello! Welcome! (Now I have used up my month's quota of exclamation points.) I do appreciate your visits. If you like, leave me a comment or two so I know who you are. It's always good to make friendly contact across time and space.

Rhymin' Simon

Golden Gate Bridge, not necessarily over troubled waters

Lately I've been craving the songs of Paul Simon. Thanks to the so very portable technology of the cell phone, I can listen as I walk the neighborhood. I knew the album name I allude to above, but I hadn't really paid attention to the man's craft. I'd never though to rhyme Scandinavia with behavior. I never would have come up with a situation where I had to pair radical priest with get me released. and I would have missed the wit of You're cool, you're hot / I'm not. Gives me something to think about other than who is and isn't wearing a mask.
