A Child's Mind

The sprawling, limitless possibilities of a child's mind are akin to the infinite concepts of the universe. The future in front stretches out, eminating with uncertainty yet intrigue. The black 'in-between' is unspoilt and untouched and with the ferocity of a black hole it consumes information and new ideas. The hottest sun will warm a child's back, while the harsh cold ahead entices and is somehow unfelt. Life has not yet taken it's linear shape. Instead it possesses the very air that is inhaled, the wind on one's cheek and the excitement in one's chest. Life, like the universe, is without walls or boundaries; it has no beginning and no end. It asks questions and yet holds all of the answers. It presents obstacles, yet holds promise and hope. If only life could remain this limitless. If only our hearts could remain as open as our minds once were. If only we could go back to being at the centre of our own universe, able to venture off in any direction we choose.
