Hiran told me "Good news! Did you see the avocado? It's growing well. The first leaves have come. Unless we do something harsh or stupid, it will bear fruit in 15 years".
Then, he says.. see this is how children also are. Just give them a little good atmosphere and they will turn into great people. Don't stifle them.
A seed has the entire intelligence to grow into a beautiful plant. It needs minimal external help. So is the case with humans. The embryo has the capability to grow the brain, heart and other organs.. from a single cell...why can't it perform more miracles? Wrong parenting and stifling schools aside, a child will learn.. in his own way, the things that interest him...that fascinate him. A little water and encouragement is all that's needed. We may grow into different individuals.. We express ourselves differently.Each of us is beautiful. What each of us loves, is art to us.
Yday we went to Bistro claytopia to paint something. There were so many artifacts displayed. You can't slot them as beautiful. Each artifact is the art and mind and soul of one person.. each looks as different as we are...I learnt to appreciate that and not judge things...it was wonderful.
Being with a child filled with wonder - the magic rubs off on you. Just like J.K Rowling said.."All of us have magic".
Around the same time, one mom has written a beautiful article:
