Dear son


Know how the other day you asked

"When I grow up, do I have to be something human?"
That's a valid question. I have no answer to it.

I was thinking about the fruit of knowledge and the loss of Eden.
How paradise to me would be a place with no concept of time or space. In essence, childhood.
Just fruit, friends and family. This knowledge thing, I don't know if it's worth it.

It's so beautiful and so hard to have something as innocent and carefree as a child around, knowing that some day they'll inevitably get to know hardship and sadness and confusion. If only we had the answers, or if only we could protect them from the difficulties ahead. I don't have kids, but two younger sisters, and when I see them all grown up into strong and funny young women, there's always still the mischievous grins shimmering through sometimes that I loved so much on their faces when they weren't much taller than the kitchen table...
