"However much we assert ourselves as we rearrange the earth, our vulnerability and dependence are constant. Necessity cloaks most adult busyness but the busyness of the child is something else. Existence, in and of itself, is enough necessity for a child. We can say that it should be that way for adults but it isn’t and it can’t. Child’s play is not adult play. That is why the lens of childhood is so important; it reminds and rebukes the adult." Such an excellent paragraph! An important essay. Thank you!
