Great quote! And that's something I never want to lose.
Happy day after Thanksgiving!
I agree with Dan. The key is to keep a childlike quality, without becoming childish.
Sometimes, I feel as if it's not so much that "we" have forgotten, as it is that "we" have become a society of grown ups who are too busy to remember; sad, either way.
