The innocence of little people

I went to a couple of the KCYA ballet and theatre classes this weekend to take pics for a few marketing things I am working on. It amazed me and intrigued me as I sat there taking pictures of how amazing, care free and real kids are. They all were having a blast and just being thmeselves. Even when a person with a camera was watching and snapping immense amounts of pictures of them they were real. They tried hard to keep their toes pointed, their backs straight and arms extended.

They were beautiful with their hearts opened wide at the possibility of what the world has to hold. I miss that feeling and dont know when it happened. I dont remember a specific date or a specific event that made the future seem impossible.

I think this retrospect comes at a great time with the holiday season coming up. The world, the children of the wolrd still have the greatest gift of all time. They can believe, they can trust, and they can be innocent with honestness of who they are. I vow to be a little more open this season. To be thankful for all things and willing to try new things. To be amazed by the little things that kids marvel at. I vow to learn from them and remember what it was like to just be.

Thank you to all the kids I saw this weekend and for God opening my eyes to one of the things I miss the most.
