The best thing a person
can do is to get back in touch with that that part of ourselves that we lost
somewhere along the way; it may be our innocence, or our youthful outlook that
things really can get better, or that the world’s a better place than it really
is. It’s been said we don’t get old playing, but that we get old when we stop
playing. I’ve seen it happen. You’re young and then BAM, you’re old. It happens
a lot in high school. You’re friends with somebody for a long time, but after
summer break and you come back to school, and it’s like you don’t know them
anymore. Or stuff you used to like, you just don’t care about anymore because
you are the one that has changed. You can’t do anything about that stuff then
or now, but there’s good news tonight… We can reconnect to those things that
have slipped away from us; scrape the jadedness of our clothes, open our eyes
again. Let the weight fall off your shoulders. Appreciate the simple.
