"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. "

Today's "Small Pause"...
Remember viewing things as a child with wonder and magic? Today I had a glimpse of this wonderful way of viewing the world. After listening to another student read a book with a mermaid in it, three little girls proceeded to have a discussion about the reality of mermaids. The discussion went something like this:
"I love mermaids!" says Sara.
"Me too." says Miranda.
"I saw one, one time and she was really beautiful. Her hair was shiny and she was really colorful." says Sara.
"Are mermaids really real Sara?" asked Andrea.
"Oh ya, they are really real", says Sara.
"I think they are too", says Andrea.
"Ya", says Miranda.
It was a delightful engagement that made me smile. Maybe, mermaids really are real. Since when do adults have all the answers? I think children could teach us a thing or two about how to view the world. The magic of a child's perspective and wonderment, does not have to be obliterated with adulthood.
Warmly,
Debbie
