“Why, there must be more than one way for children to express themselves,” I thought.
Many great sages alluded to the need for adults to return to the state of innocence and childlike purity. Such is the journey of the spiritualist. Children are natural storytellers. Observe them when left to play alone and you would know what I mean. However, some adults may cringe when they see children's stories that lack big words and the complexity of a captivating novel.
Which they shouldn’t be, until taught to be.
For most children in their authentic states, are pure, innocent, and not complex. And torrential are the “writing frameworks” in the market, promising quick fixes. Effective perhaps in some contexts (e.g., examinations), which are undeniably also part of our lives. However, a “framework-ed” child, like a manicured bonsai plant, pretty on the outside but lacking in his rugged edges, rarely grew up truly expressed and robust in nature.
What happens, when all the scaffolds are removed one day, how does she, the bonsai, live? Alas all gardeners have their positions in life, none of which better than the other, for diversity and a world of contrasts make life interesting.
My position however in this cosmos is to plant trees that weather storms. Perfectly imperfect trees of different shapes, sizes, species and proclivities, let them all thrive!”
