Child-like Wonder

When I was running this morning, a young kid stopped, dropped his bike and squatted down on the trail. It looked like he was hurt, so I came up to him to ask. "Nope," he said. "I had to check out this cool catapillar." I was glad he wasn't hurt, and I was actually thankful for the quick break. It was hot out there! But as I ran away, leaving him to stare endlessly at this neat creature, I recalled the same wonder I had as a kid.

What happens to us when we become adults? Why do we zoom past cool things and move on to the next step so quickly? Some how we lose the awe and wonder. The world is still an amazing place. It's summer, get out there and BE in it!
