While enjoying the Christmas Ballet Nutcracker , I was thoroughly caught up in the beautiful stage dressings of tapestry and lights, the fanciful props like giant cake decorations while sweeping music with full imagery and beautiful ballerinas in they're sparkling enchanting gowns gracefully leapt and pirouettes across the stage , I was caught in a moment of surprise by the tiny sweet voice of innocense.
She was sitting behind me with her mother and her Family asking is that the sugarplum fairy? in earnest she asked again, sitting on her mother's lap and pointing at the stage.
Her little voice was the greatest joy for me that evening. Joi d Vivre . Joy of life , As The French put it simply. For hers was the voice of innocents and naïveté.
This beautiful gift of innocence comes to us by the children. This is the most delicate and fragile as niavitee and lasts only a few years comparatively in their childhood.
It is a gift to all of us. Do we not all smile when we hear the laughter of little children.
It truly lightens the heart.
I believe we must provide guardianships of their innocence and naivete.
This is an act of preservation for not only our world but our culture here at home.
