Fleeting though they may be, it is these fundamental moments that lay the groundwork for the person that we will forever become. It is these moments upon which we reflect wistfully in search of hope, inspiration and home. These moments beckon us to moments more simple, not simply because our circumstances were better, but because we perceived less limits having known no better. Our younger selves call to us because they miss us just as much as we miss them. There is a mutual longing between our younger selves and our current selves, because they were never meant to part, and our being longs for a wholeness it will only know in times when the two revisit each other.

Let us remember the wisdom that can be found in revisting our inner child. Let us remember when we dreamed beyond the stars. We loved and we loved hard. We saw no to end to fun even when we worked hard. We cackled with belly-aching laughter and we sobbed in torents of tears. Let us know no end to our youth, even in our growing old and heavy with reality. Let us rekindle the flame of childhood now and at every stage of life, never forgetting the whimsy of childhood.
