Happy Walk Of INNOCENCE


“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”
- PABLO PICASSO

“When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college - that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?"”
-HOWARD IKEMOTO

A few days ago, I found my self walking behind two kids, lets say about seven or eight years of age . I couldn't help but notice the spring in their step and the nonchalance of not having a care in the world. Compared to this , on my mind was a constant reminder of deadlines to be met and tasks to be struck off my list. The contrast struck me and made me wonder if its possible to walk the happy walk of innocence even now or maybe forever. I have always believed that you can get and become anything you want if you focus on getting there- so this should be possible too:)
I envy all the pediatricians and kindergarten teachers who witness this innocence most days of their lives :)- Count your blessings......

The easiest and probably the only way to get that spring back in your step..is to hold a child's hand and take them where they are going!
