[MD] Precious ?

[118]

Hi Marsha,
Yes, if only we could be children again.  Zen mind, Beginner's mind as
it were.  However, we seem to get very caught up in the static
patterns and forget what is more important.  I am a big fan of Joseph
Campbell's, the underlying nature of myths is the archetype.  This is
more easily seen as a child, before all the "educational" mezmerizing.
 You seem to address this in your comments about joyfulness.
Cheers,
Mark
