“You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.” J.M. Barrie (Peter Pan)
Dreaming Once, when I was a child, I saw outside my window a world unbroken as if it would go on forever and ever, that Wendy and I would defeat Hook and make Neverland into ever land for good where nothing would break or be endangered and everything was safe to be itself. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
Don’t lose that map or that dream!

I had the same view outside my window when I was a kid. I am still grateful to my parents for giving me the gift of an innocent childhood.

Such lies we were fed. No wonder innocence is lost.

Yes, I believe that the loss of innocence is a form of abuse. Jung always said that the Child Archetype was someone looking for innocence. I agree, sadly, such lies indeed.

The world tends to contract as we age. Fighting that to make it go on forever . . .
