Worlds of Contentment
Worlds of Contentment Not long ago an expectant grandmother was presented with a copy an ultra-sound image of her soon to be born granddaughter. The grandmother was delighted to see the fetus who was clearly sleeping on the folded placenta with her hands supporting her head. During gestation the ears gradually move back into position for life in the world. The tiny child’s ears were almost in position for active life outside.
