I Will Never Grow So Old Again

When my son was a little boy, I would look at the absolutely precious person he was and could see how much he already knew. He seemed to be a soul in search of intelligence. As a kindergarten teacher I began to notice this in the other 5 years who were under my care. It reminded me that although adults seem to know so much more than children do, it is the children who can see the beauty of their world, the children who can tune into glorious fantasy at a second's notice, the children who express their absolute dependence and pure will, and the children who are always conscious of death, God, angels, and the necessity of loving others.
Knowledge is not always the adding on of information and skill; sometimes it involves the loss of both. Knowledge is not always a matter of becoming smart and intelligent; it could be the discovery of one's foolishness and ignorance. Knowledge may have little or nothing to do with IQ; there's an intelligence in touch, smell, movement, play, and feeling. All of us, and I place myself at the top of the list, might be well advised to exchange all that we think we know for what we don't know and begin to discover that the world is in the words of Keats, the the soul's school.
