I spent a lovely Saturday morning at Westmount park with my daughters, and I was struck with a powerful truth: kid's parks can be a microcosm of a perfect world.
I saw parents watching their little ones scamper around; kids played openly with one another, eager to meet new friends and explore the wonders of the park. Parents chatted about their kids, beaming with pride and love.
It was wonderful.
Today's world is dark and depressing, dominated by greed, violence, and intolerance of differing opinions. I wish a childlike sense of innocence and wonder could descend on humanity like a calming rain. Everything that adults consider 'important' is irrelevant to any child; they only want to play and be introduced to new ideas and people (regardless of age, race, or creed).
If we all acted more like kids, the world would certainly be a better place to live.
it was so fun to finally get to play with different kids!!! lily was fun, playing with em and playing"static" hair was great! i would go back!
