So, I had a little lesson in life from my son today. I was sitting quietly as he drew matilculous little milticoloured circles again and again all over a piece of paper.
Kayden actually drawing anywhere near me is a new thing as he has spent the better part of a year refusing to do anything arty with me - hmmm something to do with my own yearning that he would Im sure !
Anyhow, these litle circles began to cover the page and complete a beautiful pattern - then all of a sudden he picked up the dark green crayon and scribbled furiously all over the page.
"Oh, what happened", said I, saddened at the sudden loss of his picture.
"No, Mummy, its a picture of lots of people hiding behind a tree "
I can't tell you how much I chuckled inside !
Yet later on in bed as I recalled the story to my husband, I wondered how much in life we percieve things to be destruction - and sometimes they are, yet often, it is the creation of something new that we miss. I will make sure I keep my inner eyes open from now on !
