They come to surrender freedom but to explain it. They are the greatest lateral thinkers, and the deepest. Their simplicity is awesome, their insight unforgiving.

It may take time but eventually, in almost any given situation, patient observation and self-honesty will show us that a child seeks always to find the path least resistant to the expression of love. Not his love, or her love, but Love in its Divine, impersonal sense. The Love, therefore, of God.
