Rediscovering Childhood's Curiosity

The soul is a beautiful entity, potent enough to bring forth the unique beauty of oneself, superseding superficiality with substantiality. This is a super-secret, one so deeply hidden that it often remains undiscovered. It hides behind the noise of peer validation, societal approval, and the fear of failure.

For example:

A child leaps with joy upon experiencing something new—be it the taste of a novel flavor, the gentle touch of water droplets on the skin, or the sight of handmade paper boats floating effortlessly. The child dances instinctively when music reaches their ears, listening to no one and fearing nothing, simply living in awe of the wondrous world around them. To this child, they are the universe’s dominant, happiest soul—untouchable and truly alive.

This aura of joy, curiosity, and aliveness persists whether the child is awake or asleep. They express their Eureka moments through relentless experiments: blowing out candle flames, folding the leaves of a touch-me-not plant, or even poking their cheeks with the sharp end of a pencil. So many little discoveries, so much delight.

I’m certain, dear reader, that as you read this, you too are recalling similar acts from your childhood—just as I feel them now. Isn’t it beautiful?

This childlike version of ourselves was so alive, creating an aura of beauty through its pure connection with the soul, guided by awareness and unrelenting curiosity.

Now imagine: how much more beauty could this articulate soul create if we reconnected with it today? By silencing the external voices that surround us, we could rediscover the depths of this beauty. Let’s rejuvenate our awareness and reignite our curiosity for newness—the same ones we left behind with our childhood.
