Having an unrealistic sense of one’s own size is a persistent error. It can’t be corrected by argument. It lies deeper than faith in God. Only a god can heal it. A god’s foot. A baby’s foot. Foot next to foot. The baby’s foot next to the adult’s foot. Amazement at their relative size. Later, after the baby’s foot has been wrapped up and one’s own foot juts out beyond the sofa’s armrest, we feel a kind of vertigo: we are so small. We are all too happy to forget our smallness. Our limitation is not that we aren’t great. It’s that we don’t remember.
