And who might we become?

Who we were always meant to be...ourselves.

I’ve always been a perpetual child, but had lost some of that with adulthood until I had my child.

Now, I walk on the curb, enjoy puddles, explore and look with curiosity as I always did.

These days my son is the adult…

And I’m not! 😊

Great insights and by stepping in a puddle we become one with it and also get to paint on the canvas of the walkway our footprint as being there and unique to us as no one has a footprint quite like our sneakers if well worn in and having some imperfections....as others are welcome to do as well! Quest well....Pax, Lux et Amor IHS

"Time is focused on experiencing & simply being"...what luminous & effortless reminders children are of that marble of wisdom, the flame of innocence that intersects the hearts & minds of all! Thank you for sharing David...perhaps it comes as no surprise how timely the reminder of the memories of my grandad taking my sister and I on frog-catching trips through the muddy ponds of Wisconsin & my grandmother's grace at letting us back in the house when we returned with a bucket full of frogs...embellished with the remnants of the adventure 😳🤣 Unfolding Light this morning became an especially fun read when bridged with your reflection!!! ♾️🙏🐸

The curiosity of children is something adults should really tap back into to regain our humanity in general. That's an amazing anecdote!

I have 4 grand girls and another on the way. This story is so representative of them 🤣

A friend and I were just discussing time this morning, David. Relative to quantum physics (which I understand almost not at all 😅). We exist in almost perpetual distraction. A lot more time is required to ponder the things that matter. Say the phrase "take time" out loud. Then think about the implications of that . . .
