Eternal Childhood
Innocence in the adult heart
speaks louder than ever when the game is remembered and even played again.
Take students who join the project for example. They recalled the laughter
and fun spirits in the childhood. They are reminded those wonderful playmates
who may have lost contact with. A student told me, during the process of
writing the game, she phoned around and found lost friendship again. She
found it simply a rewarding experience to remember there is still a young
kid in them.
Like American poet Robert
Frost once told us, " For me the initial delight [of poetry] is in the
surprise of remembering something I didn't know I knew." The eternity of
childhood, indeed, is like poetry. Something old can always be of new significance,
if only adults can remember something they had forgotten they knew--and
loved.
I must congratulate the project
of Children Folk games did contribute a lot to our life.
Thank you so much for the
meaningful reminder.
