childlike freshness

Tweet

I was in a public transportation going to work this morning and there was this mother with an infant on her lap. I watched faschinated by the child who kept looking around him moving his head from left to right and back. I looked up and saw the adults with heads fixed in one direction. Aren't we missing someting by having our gaze fixed in one direction? And I wondered...haven't we grown ups lost much of a child's traits growing up? Let me cite a few and perhaps you could add more, deal mylotters. One is the curiosity of a child. We stopped looking around us as we get fixated in our daily routine missing the green grass and trees around or even the stones that we step on--the beauty and bounty of nature. Humility or the willingness and eagerness of a child to learn with all their why and how and what. We grown ups know everything or think we do or pretend we do. We stopped learning. The wonder and eagerness of a child. The age of technology has numbed our senses and enthusiam as everything is within reach in just a push of a button. To be a child again. Though I think we still could recapture some of a child's traits at whatever age we are and become fresh again. Don't you think so? Thanks for your sharing.
