Dear Gerold:

I don’t think it is a bad thing. I think that part of your longing for that cottage is the loss of childhood, that special, magical feeling special to childhood. You know how magical life is for young children, how they don’t know… yet that some things are impossible. Believing that they can fly almost.

Well, that magic is gone when we grow up. Some of it is gone. We have to say goodbye to that part. And then, attend to the magic that is left, that is real.
