"Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children. "
- Walt Disney
How true is this? I couldn't help but think of our friend Mr. Blake. He was a visionary, that envisioned the world as a place of peace, hope and love. He beleived that innocence was a state of mind and spirt, and that we all had it within us to be the free spirited, holy, innocent people we were as children. Like Blake, I beleive we can learn so much from children. They are not corrupted by societal values or any evil present in the world. They know no wrong. They bring an immense amount of joy and bliss to all who come in contact with them. Children do not wish harm on their enemies. Children do not plot revenge. Children do not discrimminate- for WHATEVER reason. Children do not swear or curse. Children are spiritaully resilient, and are bringers of a greater level of grace. It really saddnes me to think that as we grow we become corrupted by materialistic goods, swear, amd do not get along with everyone. We argue, manipulate, and loose so much innocence we once retained so peacefully as a child. As Blake says, we all have a sense of the sacred within us, it is us to us to discover and use this. As Jesus said " unless you become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 18:3)
