Yesterday I met an old friend.
His smile was so bright,
so honest, as opposed to his old smile,
his fake, his formal smile.
I remember him as a religious extremist,
a rigid person, a man as hard as a rock–
–and he has transformed into soft,
passionate human.
All because of the presence of a child.
It is a relief to witness that,
a child’s fluid consciousness,
his connectedness, his purity,
can eventually melt his parents’ rigidity,
and soften their heart.
A child has the power to transform the world,
even before worldly living gripped him, conditioned him,
and turned him solid.
Thank God the children are always here! :D
