I love the immediate honesty in a child’s description. ‘When did you stop being honest?’ is a good question for thought.

Ah, yes. When did we stop being a poet. And the truth of children. Also, the expression in their painting, drawing, art—until someone tells the child it isn’t what it is, what the child knows but the adult forgets.
