More to Understand

Children notice things adults learn to walk past.

A strange cloud.
A tiny plant pushing through concrete.
The sound of rain.
Something being built.
Someone doing something they’ve never seen before.

Then we get busy.

We stop asking questions because we think we should already know the answers. We stop looking closely because we’ve convinced ourselves we’ve seen it all before.

Maybe one of the things worth carrying from childhood into adulthood is curiosity.

Keep looking.
Keep asking.
Keep learning.
Keep being surprised.

There is still plenty in this world you haven’t noticed yet.

Growing older should give you more to understand, not less to wonder about.
