A thank-you to my child.

“You remind me of the lightness of being!”

“You are exploring the world. Your small world that opens like a tent to reveal a myriad of colorful attractions inside. Everything is exciting, everything is new.

Your little hands explore everything they can grasp between their fingers. Sometimes you cast a critical look at things, but it usually seems as if you want to enchant everything around you with your smile. You enjoy little things and the simplicity inherent in them. A mere ringing at the door lets you burst into ecstatic joy.

The glitter of a plain key amuses you just as much as the reflection of the puddle under your feet.

You let everyone share your carefree zest for life, and I watch you doing it.

When was the last time I found such pleasure in simplicity? When was the last time I experienced something for the first time? Has it ever been so easy for me to enjoy myself and allow one single thing to captivate me and fill me with bliss and euphoria? Secretly, I hope that I have simply forgotten.

So that your blissful laughter can remind me of it every day. Remember the lightness of being (a child). To bring a piece of it over into my life, into my own large tent filled with colorful attractions.“

Being a child thanks to my Mevisto stone

Thanks to the Mevisto gemstone made from my child's hair, I remember every day how important it is to stay a child at heart. The sapphires and rubies made by Mevisto allow me to travel back in time to my childhood whenever I wear and look at them.
