The moment we teach a child that a tree is a tree, they’ll never see a tree again, at least not in the same way they did before the label.
We humans have the ability to name and label the elements of our world. We teach children that a tree is a tree, and in doing so, we provide them with a powerful tool for navigating and understanding the world. However, this act of naming also has a profound consequence: it can change the way they perceive and experience the very things we’ve labeled.
Give yourself the best present ever…by being present.
All of us were once children, but only a few actually remember what it was like to be a kid.
The good news is, it’s never too late to reawaken your inner child.
“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”
– Winnie the Pooh
This artwork was loosely inspired by “The Tao of Pooh,” a book by Benjamin Hoff written for both kids and adults alike.
But I think adults benefit more from the book because the older we get, the farther away we stray from our true selves.
Another magical cup of tea to enchant your day!
