i fell down on sat. one knee is bruised, one is skinned. reminds me of this quote

"Sometimes I wish I was a little kid again... because skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts"

back to when we were kids and anything was possible. where i find love from a black box that showed the world to me. where we thought we could be whatever we wanted to when we grew up.

when we would be scolded for everything and anything, but we did them anyway. when i broke cups, ornaments, trays, toys, ah almost anything la and they would disappear. where we explore without sense of danger, when we talked and acted without forethought but with consequences.

when we had blankets and bolsters as best friends who grew smaller as we grew bigger and one day decided to leave us for good. i miss them.

when we keep losing things hamsters rabbits dogs turtles chickens, but we found new things to love. when we had the time and the energy to feel compassion, empathy, to sit and stare at them for an hour. to look at anything for more than 5 minutes.

when we did not care about hygiene, rest, what we wore, contents of our food.

i probably still do some of the above, and above all, LOOK at our world. not only from a black box, but at anything more than 5 minutes. explore till we become smaller in this world that gets bigger.




how wonderfully created everything is.
