The burden of decisions is lifted. I get more things done simply because it is preprogrammed that it is time to unpack the dishwasher, fold the laundry or work on the computer. Our children give us the chance to transcend reality. Make believe can be real. They teach us to look at a box and see a boat, a doghouse, a race car or a doll bed.
Nothing has to be what it seems.
They show us how to be open to possibilities. The greatest freedom children give is the ability to throw love around with great abandon. There is love for the doll, the dog, the next door neighbor's children, the day's favorite book, the cup of milk and for you. There is more love available than you can use up in an entire lifetime. Because our children do not hold back, they release us from our adult chains and let us experience all emotions.
