I witnessed the fun still evident in the fundamental responsibilities of daily living as the aging youth went about their day. I saw dancing, then the timid pulling back of a child-like nature. "Dance! Have fun! Don't be afraid of that!", I spoke unashamed to the child still evident within such a one, where a child-like nature dared to emerge from life "growing up".              I passed through and beheld the invitation to join in the fun of a day, innocent moments of pure childhood fun and the call to live beyond simply "getting stuff done".
