The five-year-old who lives upstairs likes to come down and eat fruit with me. We're buddies, she and me. I'll be posting some of our conversations because this child knows what's up.
M: Hey, B, I saw you meditating while I was cutting up the pineapple.
B: I wasn't meditating. I was doing yoga.
M: What do you think about when you do yoga?
B: I don't think about anything. I have an empty mind.
M: Will you teach me how to have an empty mind?
B: No, Mossy. You have to do it yourself. I don't know how to teach you.
CHANGES
I've had some plans up my sleeve for a few months.
This blog is moving soonish to breathingmoss. Some posts are already cross-posted, but I'm still working out formatting and such. I'll post when I'm all done here.

I love options. Having three distinct (and equally valid) first names is the kind of pluralist I like to be. The only downside is that it seems like I don't know my name when I stammer upon introducing myself.
I am who I say I am. But I'm also a couple other people too.

sometimes I think that kids have more insight on this whole life thing than we adults do. Where does it go?
We unlearn how to pay attention. Those so-called weirdo adults, who are very childlike, have maybe managed to hold onto that insight and perceptiveness that many of us shed as we age.
Maybe being social acceptable and "normal" and keeping childlike qualities aren't mutually exclusive, but sometimes I do wonder.
