My daughter and I are so close. She just turned six. I can describe anything she's doing, the least little thing, and I get all excited about it. It's like medicine.
I'd always believed that a life of quality, enjoyment, and wisdom were my human birthright and would be automatically bestowed upon me as time passed. I never suspected that I would have to learn how to live - that there were specific disciplines and ways of seeing the world I had to master before I could awaken to a simple, happy, uncomplicated life.
