I never tire looking at the face of a child, at the child that is alive in an adult. We need to tend the child in us, allowing it to interact with the adult and the parent in us. At mid-point in our life's journey we need to access our child state to restore our energy some of which we are slowly losing. We will always need some creativity and playfulness to maintain some balance in our life. The child is a beautiful and powerful image of the Kingdom, for me.
