Complex Wonder — Simple Glory

Think of the sparkle and happiness children can bring.

Children illuminate and unveil so much to parents.
Like magic, we see ourselves in them.
Like an inverse mirror,
we feel and hear our parents words and attributes expressing themselves.
We hear our wrongs and rights exposed and shouting back at us.

• Our self is flayed open with blinding revulsion at what we have created.
