The Sacredness of Youth

If you focus your vision on something small then the world becomes so much larger. There is a clarity that arises: the subject or object moves to the foreground, close-up. The toy figure is life-size, larger than life even, so that the background is an expanded universe. The thing in focus is then all of the world and it changes in different light.

Such a pure gaze creates purity in the thing gazed upon.

Why do we forget sometimes that’s it’s as simple as a state of mind?

Maybe to be an adult is to have a headache; maybe to be a child is to shrink-wrap our mind around one sound at a time and forget the noise.
