i was reading about the different anatomical parts of the skull and came across the term fontanelle. man, what a great word. moms (and unnaturally learned people) might know about it because it's the soft spot babies have in the top of their skull because their cranial bones haven't knitted together yet.
this got my brain to wander, thinking about the metaphorical significance of having an opening in our skulls when we're born. awesome.

i hope it does something for you, too.
