a passage from Harlan Ellison's Jefty is five. It is a time when the eyes are wide open and the patterns air, not yet set a time when one is not yet been hammered into accepting everything as immutable and hopeless. A time when the hands cannot do enough. The mind cannot learn enough. The world is infinite and colorful and filled with mysteries. Five is a special time before they take the questing, unquenchable, quixotic soul of a young dreamer and thrust it into dreary schoolroom boxes a time before they take the trembling hands that want to hold everything, touch everything, figure everything out and make them lie still on the desktops.
