INNOCENCE FOUND

In a world where innocence is lost so quickly, I pondered if it truly exists at all.  Where does one go to find it....this freedom of a pure, existence amidst an age-old classroom called life who teaches that innocence is best ignored.

It was when I stopped looking that I was able to "see" a world with an abundance of innocence and I chose it for my guide.  Stop for a moment and watch nature.  Listen to all that is to be heard; for, this is the true teacher of all living things.  The smell of a rose, the call of a wolf, the sight of a bird in flight. Nature's untainted innocence is responsible for all these things.

Nature hears no voice but it's own; yet, speaks to all who will listen.  A voice as constant as a rising sun or branches swaying in the wind.....for these are the soft-spoken words of innocence.
