Sure.

I don't know.

I think you're right about they arrive with something that's beyond our understanding really.

There is this thing which if you're really open to it, especially those first sort of five, seven years –

And you present the world as a thing that's open and full of wonder and a safe place and full of magic, as we very much know sometimes in reality it isn't.

But if you give them that space just to be themselves, you do see these extraordinary creatures just become something of their own accord.

But I think it does need a lot of nurture and love.

However, you're right, within that, they do things which...

are certainly to do with nature, because how can a child give you love in a time of need as an adult, which I've experienced in my family, and partly to do with the film we're going to talk about at some point, but it feels like they are capable, in the words of Max Porter in the novel, of giving something...

back that isn't uh learned it's not asked for it's not caused by anything other than them having an empathy or a link or an understanding of what love is yeah that human instinct you're innately born with and yeah and i think without getting too wishy-washy about it if i haven't already

That is nature.

That is something that's sent from somewhere else.

I'd have 12 kids if I could.

Yeah, I think...

They're here to teach us, really.
