Children can teach adults how to look at life with wonder and
spontaneity. "Wisdom begins in wonder," said ancient philosopher
Socrates.
Summer is a time where children
are able to frolic and play without the constraints and structure of
school and rigorous activity schedules. This
can be a magical time for adults, where we relive the wonder
of a child by slowing our paces down and watching and entering
their world...where a bubble can float to fairy land or
a sand castle is home to a princess . Let
us learn from our children...let us live in the moment.
Give yourself
permission to be spontaneous. "Be open to experience," urged
self-actualization guru Abraham Maslow. Expect the
unexpected. Imagine something and make it happen. Take delight
in the simplicity of life.
This issue's featured art,
Sweet Innocence, is
perfect for capturing the little things and our
little ones, full of whimsy, color, glitter, pattern, and texture.
We offer it as a Page Pak and Album Pak.
