what is...

What is a child? Well there is a literal definition, but that just does not seem like the kind of answer that would keep interest, because we all know what a child is. Perhaps a child is someone with no worries, or cares in the world. But then again children care about many things, and on the rare occasion worry about the potential trouble they will get into if their parents find out about undesirable acts they have engaged themselves in. Perhaps a child is someone that is oblivious to the negatives in the world around them? But then again some people we consider adults are just as, it not more, oblivious. I think I got it! A child is a soul that believes in the unbelievable, that believes in magic, and what could never be possible actually can be. A child is a soul that does not stop to think hum...this does not make sense because of certain things I have been told just simply are not supposed to make sense. A child makes sense out of anything they want to make sense out of. That is a child. There is no age involved in my mind.

What is a book? A book is a generator for the mind, a place to go for any occasion, providing comfort and knowledge. Books are a portal to the deep inner minds of others, that trigger the readers’ inner mind to think either outside their box, or even parts inside the box that the reader hasn’t thought too much about.

What is nature? Could nature be the essence of all imagination? Well at least in my life, it is. All inspiration for anything in this world has come from something in nature. Nature is the first and the best at creating stories, and letting imagination run wild. Things humans cannot even come up with in the depths of their mind, nature has created out of atoms we as humans cannot see without some form of invention—that was created from the mind of someone who saw something in nature that helped them with their invention. Magnifying something is not a human creation, it is natural, water can magnify fish to make them look like huge sea monsters, when in reality they are just minnows. Nature helps create the imagination in a child that can be put into a book, that can eventually provoke more thought and more imagination.
