Children Are Shed Special Light - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

I’ve said it before, I love it when children are like children - the ones that play like one, talk like one and think like one. Not the ones that get their way around an iPhone with more dexterity than their parents. Not the ones that talk and behave like a mini-adult stuck in a baby’s body.

I’m touched when I see two boys playing on the window sill in Napoli, Italy, having not a worry in the world. It reminds me of a time when my sister and I would call out people passing by our window and quickly ducked to leave the person befuddled.

And then there’s this baby girl on the day of Giostra del Saracino in Arezzo, Italy. The whole city came to root for their team of choice. She came in a stroller. It was after the team of Porta del Foro just received its blessings in Church of San Domenico. While adults stood around waiting for the procession of all teams to the competition site, she spends her quiet time, making sure her own scarf was perfect for the big moment.

As if the sun god couldn’t resist such authentic cuteness, he had to give her the special light while everyone else gets their broad light.

Happy Children's Day - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

Today marks the Universal Children's Day in many countries.  May we hold our children's hands, nurture, protect, guide and build them as they feel their way around in this world; and also take the opportunity to let go when the time arrives.  And yes, there is such time in every child's life.  If you are ever in doubt, refer to P.J. O'Rourke's methodology:   

“You know your children are growing up when they stop asking you where they came from and refuse to tell you where they're going.” 

Have a happy Children's Day to all the parents out there!  Remember, as John W. Whitehead puts it, “Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see.”  Until that day, remain a child until you can't pretend anymore.
