Childish people


I will now write my thot
You will see something new
Two Things.  And I call them
Thot One and Thot Two!

A little play on Dr. Seuss, but you’d be surprised how much of my life is inspired by books for children.  I actually do have two stock places saved for writing thots on my computer and I really do call them thot1 and thot2, because they are places where I can jot down ideas as well as flesh them out.

You can bamboozle a lot of adults with a mish mash of words.  Use enough of them, or make them big enough or long enough and some folks think you really know!

Young children cut to the chase.  They aren’t afraid to say, “What do you mean?”  Or, “Huh?”  They aren’t reluctant to giggle when they think you are trying to be funny and fool them either, but they are kind.

We seem to be born with the ability to see through to the truth and love people for who they are.  Then the world slowly chisels that part off and puts a coat of veneer over what is left.

There are a few people who manage to avoid this and I adore them!  If you can earn your place in the adult world without losing your sense of truth and love and beauty you are truly one of the best.
