International Mud Day
June 29
Have you ever wondered why the light goes out in children’s eyes? Why young children ask so many questions, notice so much and wonder about everything? Somewhere, somehow we forget to wonder and stop seeing the world around us, why children stop drawing in middle childhood and how few of us never start again. Why do we keep our children so safe that they are damaged by the cocoon we wrap them in, I do, I wonder if decisions were made which paid attention to Practical Wisdom would we preserve the wonder and joy of childhood.
