I grew up with the lie that children are accessory items to the main lives of adults.

If the adults were the sun and the moon, children were at best the far away stars.

The imagery ends there because science shows that a fetus start having feelings at 8 weeks old.

I am in the process of recovering play, imagination and simplicity and they are harder than coming up with a year’s budget for an organization.

I hope to become the most foolish elder who laughs and plays along with babies.

Be gentle with yourself today.
