8 is a wonderful age. My daughter, she's 9,  full of
wonder and good cheer. The other day she called the
park's dept. because hse found a wounded bird on the
street. They told her they could nothing for her
because the bird was not in the park. She hung up,
took the bird into the park and called them again.
Being adults, they got anoid with her, but they had to
come out and ge the bird. She was happy for days about
that. Loa Tsu's world is full of rustic simplicities.
Perhaps I may be accused of Margeret Meading the
bubbles and lumps of nature's add doe less and stress
and storm, but I contend that kids (young men and
women aged 13-25 or so) have not extinguished that
spark of wonder and good cheer and that gestures are
as hinest as the one my daughter made with the bird
call. Of course, some of us just want to be around
these flowering beauties because we can't stand to be
around the pessimism of middle-aged adults. Give kids,
twins, tweens, young men and young ladies, and the
elderly, but keep the baby boomers, no friend to man,
far hence, for with is nails his dig up every flower
and turn all the earth into a wasteland of pessimism.
