When we grow up

we lose the eyes of a kid.

We don’t see life anymore

just ideas, concepts, things, words.

When a kid looks at the world

it doesn’t see cats

raindrops

rocks

clouds

butterflies

ice creams

or ugliness and hate.

It doesn’t even see the world.

It sees the miracle of life.

It sees life AS it is.

Ungraspable.

Unlearnable.

Uncontrollable.

Unknowable.

Un-understandable.

Where did it go, this precious, natural talent to just be in life, not in our heads?

Where are our kid’s eyes?

Maybe we’ve lost them.

But we can still FEEL the miracle of life.
