Pager X .Qs.gQsQsg S - Y zssg ' x My friend Linda was a child. Please don't misunderstand me. She was a very mature, adult person. She knew exactly what she wanted from her life and had good ideas about how to go about getting it. But she was a child. She would stand and peer at a sunset with awe-filled eyes and whisper, UHow pretty.N I knew she knew why they were the way they were. I knew she knew better than I did. But what she saw was that it was Hpretty.u But she was a child. She would decorate the room with the zeal and accuracy of a happy silver- smith putting the final touches on a goblet: careful, skillful, but with infinite joy in what she was doing. Then she would stand in respect of what she had done and what it stood for. She would giggle and chortle and clap her hands and be so happy. Then she would turn the lights out in the room and the lights from the Christmas tree and the window lights would bathe her face with a peace she could never quite obtain in daylight. I recall these reminiscences for a reason. I think my friend Linda had a quality in her that all of us need from time to time: the ability to be a child. The ability to appreciate things simply, not because of what we know about them, but because of the way they make us feel. It is a rare gift, but not unobtainable. Linda did it. Mark lO:lA. H...suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom of God.N --John C. Hager December 20, 1985 Ma I!
