wisdom from children:
As I was waiting to exit the plane from Phoenix to Austin, a little boy of maybe 3 sitting across the aisle from me fidgeted in anticipation. From his words, I gathered that he was excited to see his daddy and was not interested in spending one more second away from him stuck in an uncomfortable, pleather seat. His mother, who had been irritated with him most of the flight, absent-mindedly told him to hush and be still while she continued her text message conversation. The little boy continued to whine and pace in his small section until his older brother of about 6 years gave spoke these words to him:
"i know, i want to go too, but just don't think about it.
think about dancing instead.
or think that you're in bloomers and you're playing a game."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
maybe sometimes we're so busy looking ahead to the upcoming moments that we anticipate to be more exciting, that we forget to dance in the moments we're experiencing now.
maybe if we pretended we were in bloomers and playing a game in each moment, our lives would never be mundane.
may you all have the creative genius of a child and joy for every second.
