«Child’s day»

The child awakens to a universe.

The mind of the child to a world of meaning.

Imagination to a world of beauty.

Emotions to a world of intimacy.

It takes a universe to make a child

both in outer form and inner spirit.

It takes a universe to educate a child.

A universe to fulfill a child.

Thomas Berry
