Henri Matisse


"Look at life with the eyes of a child."






1869 - 1954






A child looks at the world around her with wonderment and joy.  She laughs at new and strange things.  She enjoys the moment without worrying about tomorrow or yesterday.  She smiles at strangers and trusts them.  She shows little fear and puts herself at physical risk.  She sees everything and takes it into herself.  What can you and I learn from a child?  What can the child teach us?  Don't you think it is time we hug life?  That we listen to our hearts?  That we see the world through the eyes of the child we once were?
