November 23, 1999"Thanksgiving From A Child's Eye"The older I get the more wonderful Thanksgiving becomes.Back when my good friend Hal was 45 he told me that he looked forward to getting old. His rationale was that in old age if you did something stupid, forgot an important occasion, or were a grump everyone would forgive you, saying, "Poor Hal, he's getting so senile."Hal joyfully awaited the advent of his freedom from strident seriousness.Now that I am as old as Hal was when he was looking forward to becoming senile and serendipitous, I must agree that I am enjoying aging.While my body is falling apart, my spirit is becoming more puerile. While my eyesight becomes increasingly more indeterminate, my vision is filled with awe and wonder.As I reclaim the innocence of childhood, I find there are more blessings to celebrate on Thanksgiving Day.Children have the genius to see blessings when others see hardship. They find joy while adults get lost in melancholy. They build on hope as others lumber in despair.If you need an infusion of joy and hope this week let me humbly suggest that you forgo the mall and skip over to .com.Wander into the Children's Books department. Look at the pictures, read the stories, and enjoy their simplicity. Take a few moments and read one of Jack Prelutsky's books.Jack Prelutsky has become my favorite poet. His poetry sails on the winds of whimsy. He is capriciously playful as he ponders pictures of a child's universeMeasure for measure Shakespeare may have the best meter. Walt Whitman may be heralded as America's greatest ever since he penned "I Hear America Singing." But my spirits soar and my chords sing when I read Jack Prelutsky's poetry.
