Let them linger

Let them linger in the magic of
their wonder years.

Let them play, dream, be silly, build sand castles and make lots of colourful messes.

Let them grow into who they’re meant to be, not who you want them to be.

We need their creativity, playfulness, imagination and their light, to build us a better world.
So, let them.

Sometimes it is you,

We break stuff, loose stuff, forget stuff, burn stuff, say or do the wrong stuff. We’re human. We make messes. It’s how we learn.

When we do mess up, we have to fix it, find it, clean it, own it, apologize for it, and get on with the day.

So much damage is done in the uncomfortable void created between human hearts, when our ego can’t own “our stuff.”

Sometimes it really is you (or me) and not them. “I’m sorry,” just own it.
