I want to see life through my son's eyes. I want (re)innocence.
the years have left me seemingly jaded and skewed.
I want to see life through my son's eyes - trusting.
this is nothing new and nothing I haven't grappled with before.
as my eyes are opened more and more to 'reality' I can't help but think that 'reality' was closer at hand before.
I feign at maturity, I motion toward wisdom when all the while it's all simpler than I've made it out.
I want to see life through my son's eyes - ecstatic.
the drab and dark have left me numb. the conversations have left me wanting. the relationships have left me alone.
but this is not what I wanted. this is not what I started out to be(come).
I want to see life through my son's eyes - pure, unadulterated joy (yes, joy)
God, don't let me mess him up too bad.
I want to hold a starfish for the first time.

Is this blog in responce to a message I left you recently? I am sure that it wasn't but I like what you said about seeing life through your child's eyes. I miss being able to see life and my faith in that child-like light.
