Strange magic

One of my neices is staying with us this weekend. She's three, almost four. It's fantastic! Everything is so real to her. If I say there's magic in a bowl she wants to know why she can't see it. If i tell her the magic came from a house elf she wants to meet him. It's wonderful for me to have this! It's the feeling I get when I write and draw only this is more immediate. It isn't filtered through a story or structure. It just is. And she is so open, she just accepts what I say and do unconditionally. I don't ever feel like that with grownups. I don't mind being an adult, in fact I do prefer it to being a child, but this quality of childhood I wish to have with me every day, every where. James, you have SO much to look forward to!
