The world is large
When you are small
It seems to shrink
When you are tall
You can dream
Every dream
Until you grow
And then it seems
Dreams go away
The more you've seen
So when you grow
And are so tall
And your dreams
They start to call
Just remember
When you were small
That big world
Hasn't changed at all
Today my first born child and my first grandchild were given the same materials to create a picture.
As usual my favorite part of Alexandra's Art day is watching the process. Alexandra was ready to get started right away. She started reaching for things as I was still putting things out. Marc waited until I had everything laid out before reaching for things.
Alex had no concept that there were limitations. She was ready to create something with what she could see. Marc wanted to know what all was available before he decided what to create.
Sometimes we are waiting to see what life has to offer and then choose to create a life with what is available. Perhaps we would be better served to make a life with what is right in front of us. If we are always sorting through everything for just the right piece, what have we missed creating with those things we didn't choose.
The world is constantly offering us material to create our lives. Using all that is given makes for a very full and blessed life.
