I Don’t Want to Grow Up

Searching for the fountain of youth

I’m still a kid. Except I don’t act like one. We were always told to act our age. We were always told to grow up.

I don’t want to grow up. I don’t want to act my age. I want to be the kid that I know I can be.

I want to feel the innocence, the excitement, the wonder, the joy, of living in the NOW.

I want to feel the openness of welcoming whatever comes next. I want to be fearless again.

Why does fear increase with age? Why do I hide behind the many walls that I’ve built over the years?

Do we really grow up or do we end up shutting down? Where does knowledge and wisdom take us?

Life can only be experienced in the NOW. And that is where we find that child in our heart.

That is where we find adventure and love and connection to everything and everyone around us.

As a kid I was immersed in the NOW It was everywhere I looked. And it never seemed to stop.

The NOW is infinite and never stops. It is only we who turn our backs to it. It is only we who stop.

To rejoin the flow of NOW I must reawaken the child within and bring him with me.

He will help me open doors and step into that NOW and get back into the flow of life.

The fountain of youth is located in my heart, patiently waiting for me to find it.
