You where 4 years old, walking through a street and saw a beautiful little snail on the sidewalk. You were sitting next to it. You looked, je felt, maybe even you smelled, you listened. " Mam, what does a snail say?" You where not busy with the fact that mummy maybe was in a hurry, the street was still a long way to go. What was interesting, was interesting. You did not have a sense of time, days of the week, months, years. No idea. Past time, history, present time? It was not part of the here and the now. That later that day you needed to eat. Later? What is later? All your senses where active, there on that sidewalk, with the snail. You were curious. Maybe also a little scared, based on what you already encountered in your young life. But you heard what you heard, you saw what you were seeing, you felt what you were feeling. And you were curious. Every child ls approaching and looking into life with wonder and curiosity. Kids are by being, by sensing, feeling, hearing smelling discovering the world. Their world. Actually you were a wild animal, and your parents needed to teach you culture, a way of "human" lifestyle. And they did, with good intentions. Are you still that Superman or Superwoman, Mega Mindy or Mega Marc, Batman or Batwoman? And, if yes, how does that feel? And does it show? And if no, why not? Enjoy being you.
