Recapturing Our "Childness"
This week on THE JOURNAL, historian Martin E. Marty discusses that sometimes mysterious quality that children possess, that we often often strive to cultivate in ourselves, even in our later years:
"I think that notion that you spend your life finding ways to change and become like a little child means you will be more open to mystery, more responsive to others, more receptive."
What do you think?
- Do children possess certain qualities worth emulating as adults?
- What do you think is lost in the transition away from childhood, and have you ever tried to recapture it?
