I’m trying to work out how to explain this picture to you. I hope you see, it’s all really about role models and looking up to people. Liking people. Admiring people.
Kids sometimes just like people, like being around them, feel cool or happy in their prescence. This person may do absolutely nothing obviously special to our grown up eyes. The friendship of a child really is quite fantastic. The admaration of a child is brilliant and warm and not to be taken lightly.
I enjoy the gravity some people have. The prescence. There are people in the world who make you feel comfortable and warm just by sitting next to them. My Dad is one of them (for me at least). He doesn’t need to say anything much at all to make you feel loved. It’s a kind of silent radiance.
I’m going to aspire to be one of those people to someone someday. I hope I can do it. Start thinking warm thoughts.
