I've got soul but Im not a soldier

You know what's interesting? Look straight into a baby's eyes. The younger the better. Now what do you see?

There is a blankness in their eyes, a clearness. You can see that they know so little, they know next to nothing. And that makes them so pure.

But look a little closer. Hold out your arms and pick them up, look deeper. Isn't it funny that, when you look even deeper, there's so much intelligence? A wiseness that coexists with the blankness. They are so wise because they know so little. Because they know so little, they know so much. They just know it in ways that old, wise men don't. Because the have no boundaries, no rules. Everything is possible.

Pablo Picasso said that everything you can imagine is real. And that must be what babies see, what they think, what they know. If only they were able to speak, to tell us what they know, I think it would be revolutionary. But by the time they're old enough to speak comprehensible sentences, they have become accustomed to the rest of the world's way of thinking.

I think that instead of trying to teach the babies all the time, we should try and see what they have to teach us.
