Exuberance

Who can doubt the exuberance of a child zooming down a slide on a warm summer day. It's hard to understand why sliding through a ten foot tube is fun, but give a child an opportunity and they will go through it over and over again. Maybe they'll try something else, but they always come back to the slide. There's just something magical about sliding through a tube.

Wherever I've traveled in the world, I have always been amazed at the ability of a child to find joy regardless of their situation. They somehow always find something to play with, or to ride, no matter how rich or how poor they might be. As adults, we need to sit back and watch a child, they have so much to teach us.
