"The
hug came flying at me. All I saw was thin blue and white stripes and a
flash of brown hair. Then, there he was - attached to my side, grappling
to me like he belongs there. This is the daily ritual of one 4 year old
boy named Alex. He loves people like that everyday, not just me. He
loves people with his whole heart and full body. Often, he has some
extra wisdom to share while wrapped to me. Today, I learned about snake
venom and also candles that super-heroes use at night time. I wish I
could live like Alex for one glimmering moment yet I am most grateful to
not only be witness to it but be a recipient of that kind of life power
joy. All bundled in 40+ pounds of happiness."
