"Be aware of yourself
without thinking or looking
in the mirror."
Bert McCoy
As a child, we easily focus on the moment. Time doesn't restrain us from freedom to wander. We closely inspect what is in front of us without judgment of the last minute or the next. Just right now, in this moment, a child is enthralled.
Recapture the joy of jumping in a puddle, throwing the head back, and filling the world with spontaneous laughter. Feel the wet grass under the feet as we run through the rotating sprinkler screaming with glee! Close our eyes and feel the snowflake melting on our tongue.
As children, our minds are not cluttered with pressures of conforming or perfection. We are wide open to possibility each second of our day. There is an expansiveness to life as we breathe, experience, and day dream. All things are limitless.
Our passion for the unknown, our drive for understanding, and our ability to embrace the simplest form, imprints our perception of existence. All of our senses are open, absorbing life to the fullest. Bring it back. Recreate moments existing in simplicity. Deeply appreciate the opening of a flower or the song of the bird. Allow the child to unfold, once again, in this moment.
