Love and Life

Carrying on from the previous post, here’s a line from Shantaram, one of my top 3 books of all time: “You are not a man until you give your love, truly and freely, to a child. And you are not a good man until you earn the love, truly and freely, of a child in return.”
It is amazing how the last two years have developed for me. If someone had told me some time before that I would spend a portion of my working life surrounded by little children and actually enjoying it, I would have fallen off my seat at the incredulity of the suggestion.
The Universe obviously has ideas of its own and not only have I since found myself making a difference to the lives of the little ones, but they, clearly more than they realise, have taught me so much about love and life. And above all, I am slowly discovering what is means to be a good man.
Work in progress. Always.
