“Dear Child” As I write you this letter, I marvel at how much there is to say. You will find as you mature that people will say things like: “grow up,” “act your age,” “stop acting like a child.” I’d like to caution you. It is not all bad to be like a child, there are many good things that adults can, and should, learn from children. The world encourages you to work harder, be independent, focus on reality, avoid risk and don’t be so foolish to attempt the impossible. But sometimes the opposite is worthwhile. Never ignore the value of play, the support of others, the power of imagination, and the courage to risk trying new things. As you grow, be discerning; hold on to that which is truly important. It isn’t easy, but it is good. As Madeline L’Engle says, “Only the most mature of us are able to be childlike.”
