Wonderful Wandering Mind

Why can’t the sky be purple with pink clouds? Perhaps for some folk, it is… What if you could really time travel to other galaxies? Perhaps on some level, the essence of soul, allows it. What would your dog say if it could speak English or some other human language? Perhaps they do but, people aren’t really listening… Perception is not limited; it is only narrowed by the human ego; a sad and self-limiting choice. Narrow minds limit not only themselves but, society’s growth…its progress. Any future determined by narrow minds is, a bleak one and its taste is sour on life’s tongue. Children are born with unlimited perception; their world is an amazing adventure until, adult egos brainwash them into a self-limiting box. They say that the human only utilizes one third of the brain’s capacity. How much more would adults use if they, learned to expand perception? What if they learned from the children? Perhaps those purple and pink skies could be more than, just crayon drawings on a page... everyone has the chance to find out!

"Children are born with unlimited perception; their world is an amazing adventure until, adult egos brainwash them into a self-limiting box." - they can try with some of us and yet we fight them and become artists, singers, dancers, storytellers and poets!

This is your best of the day! Well done! If parents listened to their children, we would live in a different world, but most parents are too busy "telling" their children what to think or do. Aloha! Rico
