Grant me a child's courage to feel deeply.

  2. Deep, Honest, Innocent... Insightful. I wish we all felt as children feel. What a great thing to yearn for.

  3. Kids are such honest creatures, before adults tell them no to wear their hear on their sleeve, and they start to learn to deceive.

  4. It's possible to feel as deeply as a child throughout life by following our hearts and ignoring what the grown ups tell us.

  7. Its truly amazing how children experience life, and its hard not to step back and wish we could see the world in that way again, but it is...just too scary to do.

  9. My 8-year old daughter is fearlessly loving, deeply empathetic and kind beyond words. In September her teacher asked parents what their goal for their child was. I wrote that I wanted her to leave elementary school with same loving heart she walked in with.

  10. I love children, how they see the beauty in the ordinary and small things and how they are not afraid to be honest about their feelings.
