INNOCENCE is not a Practice

her hair made me think of innocence.
 2.5.14


"Innocence is something you play with. For the young and the playful it is like the play of pulling one's hair staring off into the distance of who you are and what is to come. Innocence is more than a commodity. It is not a thing. It is alive! It is a treasure. It is natural and it comes to all of us initially as a child. Throughout our lives innocence shows up in what we don't know. It shows up with our fears facing the Unknown. 
Innocence is the one creature that cannot be slain in a child and arise like a Phoenix and renew its life. Innocence does not sell itself, nor can it be sold. It cannot even be given away. It has to be offered in exchange for something intangible and greater than its incalculable worth. One of the greatest puzzles is innocence and one of the greatest mysteries is the offering up of innocence for the intangible smell and sensation of what is beyond innocence!"  - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 2.5.14
