Abandonment of self

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with kids the other day. Everything about a child is just precious. You think a child needs you, but really, more than anything else, you need that child. You need that child's uncluttered mind. You need that child's spirit. You need that child's uninhibitedness. You need that child's vulnerability. You're once again reminded of how terribly shrivelled and shrunken you've become. You're reminded again of all the amazing possibilities that existed (and still exist!) outside your restricted self-imposed linear dimensions.

This is what it is. For eyes illuminated.
