An innocence.

The other day I saw a child helping his mother unload groceries from a crate. He was so eager and willing to help that he was much faster than his mother, who was handing him the items with a mechanical impulse. He was so willing and present to the task, and I thought, if only I could apply that same intention to my life. If only the diamond,pinpoint intention and most importantly, the willingness that was there, could be applied. It was beautiful and refreshing to see, and very hopeful and humbling to know that these forces are within us. They are apart of us,perhaps lost during some blind corner of our lives, but, they are there and quite natural to our being, and sometimes it takes a child to remind us.
