Real, true, actual
Five years old
Dreaming, singing, talking, dancing
No boundaries, no fear, no expectations
Just authentic
Remember, grasp a bit of it, hold on to that part
Before it slips away in ecclesiastical life
The essence of how you were created
One of a kind
Authentic

Think About These Things 
Yes, remember life as you did as a child! Pure, innocent,, carefree, and, as you said, “authentic!” They had it right. They found the JOY!
Christ said we come to him as a child. Completely open and trusting. Where did this open, loving, trusting person go? Things of the world got in the way of the things from heaven. Wouldn’t it be so wonderful to have the heart of a child again?
