A child's enthusiasm comes in a storm,
taking over the child's entire world.
So that when a child embraces a new, good way of being,
it enters forever, and nothing can ever take it away.
1 Iyar 5736, sicha 3.

Childish Enthusiasm
Walk and go to the mirror and stand there patiently. Look and see what you see, and then look deeper and see what else you see.
At first you may see a face, perhaps a little older. But as you patiently look deeper and you feel younger and more youthful,
that what you see is G-D's soul and spirit. It is a remembrance that we are all Children and we must never forget our Enthusiasm of being G-D's Children. Never let an old body get inside of you.
