"We all live in cages really, even animals in the wild still got boundaries, they still don't go where they're not supposed to go. They just smile and live where they are," my 9 year old said.
I am constantly having my paradigm shifted by the little things my children say off the cuff. On the surface these things are mere observations, quips in passing, and random thoughts as they go on about their day. On a deeper level, what children say exposes so much more about who we are as humans, what our place in this world is, and perhaps how we should see the world... and smile.
