Do you think that childish awe is something one can regain? Maybe it's still somewhere inside you, and maybe easier to find than we might at first think.
Ahh, stillness,
it is our soul's
natural state
but in this life
we must move
somewhere beyond
the tyranny of now.
reminded me of
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
I like how this makes you think of 2 kinds of stillness, enforced (as it is now), and natural (death).
