Thank-you for your kind comments. -- How intriguing that you've made this
observation between ACIM and my way of thinking.
Perhaps my mind was plugged into the cosmic ACIM sphere when I wrote the
above. (-:

Modus operandi understood. Imo, A child's cognitive thought emerges when we
become aware of our sense of "I". But "I can't prove this coz "I" was too
young to remember when I became conscious of my sense of "I".
Thank you for quoting St. Francis, he is one of several Saints I love and
adore. - Yes Hety, you are right; "It" is hungry.
Funnily enough, when I'm hungry "I" sometimes uses the phrase, "Okay...It's
time to feed the animal" (-:
