You need the eye, hand, and the heart. Two won’t do.*
David Hockney
They always spot the ladybug, the fluttering orange butterflies, the dandelion that’s one little puff from bursting. Their questions are my favourite part…Children have been my greatest teachers.**
Maggie Doyne
Wonderful talents
and generous values
can be the making of adulthood,
But sometimes
the best eyes we can have
are from our childlike selves–
Who knows what new
worlds we may see
to bring these to.
