"I feel it too. I always have. The feel and the pull of innocence lives so deeply within a body. It is precious in the sight of the beholder. It is precious in a child. Virginity, the taste of good food eaten gratefully, play, the innocent freedom of child's play, and not being crass, or mean are all the attributes of freedom and the composition of freedom is sewn by innocent hands.
The violation of the principles of protection by adults is a harsh and cruel let down for innocent children dependent upon their adults. Teenagers hear all the time how much contempt is leveled at girls and boys who seek to maintain their innocence by Chasity, abstinence, or good behavior. Their deep feelings of innocence are inarticulate spirits, it seems, that the violated adults surrounding them are stung by. Perhaps the memories of a man, or a woman's loss spur the actions of the predator from hibernation into action? The inability of hurt adults to find refuge and validation from wounded childhoods in communities, churches and amongst people turns the precious into envy and scorn.
How sad. How sad for the children who give up their innocence, or denounce it to make others feel good about themselves." - Alowan Chanteh Inyan Wichasha 2.19.13
