A Children's Story (For Adults)

There is a quiet wonder in the way children see the world. They do not divide life into the “possible” and the “impossible.” They do not measure truth by evidence or probability. They simply believe — freely, joyfully, wholeheartedly. A child can meet a character in a book or on a screen and welcome them into the inner world of imagination as naturally as breathing. Peter Pan can fly, and so can they. A talking bear can offer honey, and they will gladly accept it. A lion can be noble and wise, and they will follow him without hesitation.

Adults smile at this innocence. And then, somewhere along the way, they lose it.
