Just had a few days with my daughter and her two little girls. The youngest was 2 years old on Saturday and the speed of life and learning takes my breath away.
From trying to force odd shaped bricks into the right holes in a tub one day to saying "Square, triangle, round and star"and getting them right the next!
I think all adults should spend time with young children, even if they have none in their own family, just to re connect with the story of life. Dwelling only on your own time frame is limiting, try looking at life from the aspect of a mere beginner; maybe that will make sense of time passing and the reality of life for the rest of your time and your perpetual growth.
If we cease to grow, learn and expand our thinking we may as well just give up. The joy in life is the unexpected, the new experiences and new people to love, especially the little ones.
