But we allow the rest of it to overwhelm us, to push us into boxes. Great post. Nice to meet you. That simplicity, eve with all the adultness of our lives, is possible to taste every day.

How special to be able to share those really magical moments w/ the kids. Seeing the world with their sense of wonder. Very cool! I love looking at a child when they are discovering something for the first time- the bliss is all over their face, sparkling out of their eyes & they don't try to 'contain it' so they don't look foolish. Totally in the moment. LOVELY. Have you ever done a video of you with the kids? :) Blessings~ xoxo I think it is brilliant that you teach, Connie!

Peace & Love. The best–absolute BEST part of my job as an Art Teacher, is when I teach the kiddos something totally new to them…example– mixing colors for the first time with a group of kindergartners…that moment when they discover something so simple, but their seeing it for the very first time—-I feel like the luckiest person on the planet for those brief moments–being able to share the magic of ART–the magic of life through their eyes–that is worth my income, every paid holiday and sick-day, and retirement times a million.

Peace & Love.
