When I breathed, my small chest moved up and down like ocean waves crashing upon the shore. I breathed deeply, inwardly and outwardly, inhaling life’s generous abundance, exhaling its remains. My senses were full and my mind absorbed the scent and taste of every moment. Even to this day when I smell fresh cut grass, Im transported to my Fathers house on a Sunday afternoon. When I was a child my eyes were full of wonder. Light beams stretched from my chest. I had no sense of fear, no expectations.

The days wrapped its arms around me and carried me home to night, where the glittery stars and black tarry sky rocked me to sleep. When I was a child, I had faith that the world was mine and mine alone. Life was wildly charismatic, it told stories and played imaginary games. It breathed funny into boring and made ice-cream taste like paradise. Life turned the inanimate into the living and the living into heroes. When I was a child my bones created a home where endless dreams could dwell and sugar soaked happiness would grow. I was in so DEEP, mesmerised by the unknown. I stood daily on the edge of my bed with my arms outstretched, hoping, waiting, longing for the magic. It was Gods endless voice that echoed over my pure and innocent heart over and over again… To the wonder my child, to the WONDER…
