A young child has the ability to delight in the simple pleasures of life, a playfulness which is completely unselfconscious and full of natural aliveness. This quality brings great fun to the child as it feels the energies of joy coming from the heart.
The wonderful smile of a child can lighten any heart and brings cheer to all who see it, as people are able to release their burdens and sorrows for a few moments of wonder. This essence brings with it the qualities of playfulness, joy and simple delight in life and all experiences, thus dissolving some of the serious nature which we felt we had to develop as we became a responsible grown–up. We can then learn to take ourselves more lightly and life becomes delightful.
