Children speak the language of flowers

and

understand the whispers of the wind.

They´re in tune with

the subtle songs of the forest;

they can listen to the trees,

interpret the chatter of the rivers,

and intuit the meaning of each sparkle of sun.

They don´t have to be told

to look for the magic in life.

They can see it,

feel it,

and taste its sweetness

everywhere.

Our job isn´t to correct that,

but to nurture it,

to preserve it,

and perhaps even

to re-learn it.
