thru a child's eye

when a baby is born their visual system is not fully developed. in fact it is the least mature system at birth. they are capable of seeing variations of light and dark. as they grow the visual system gradually becomes more defined and nuanced.

the beauty of a child is in their smile and eyes. they have a wonderful ability to quickly forget all their harms and they posses a very myopic view of the world. children are creatures of the here & now. their demands are simple in the vein of food, water, shelter, & love. as time & experience mold their template on life from childhood into adulthood, there is a restructuring in the flow of thought. gone will be the simple flowing waters to a multiple, chaotic system. and so it is with adulthood

even in the most devious moments of a child, we can attempt to reconcile our own demons in their simplicity & innocence. as we begin to visual see more ,we spiritually start to see less. and so that smile from a child that tickles your heart is but a reminder of part of what we loss. a part we must regain. those smiles are windows to heaven.
