In the picture of the tree you will notice a flower at the bottom of the tree, that flower is the grave site to the headless bird Kersh and I found. After we stabbed the bird with a stick we made him fly and walk just like any normal bird would love...although you may be wanting to check us into the hospital or maybe turn us in for animal abuse we still had fun. It may be gross and weird, but Kersh is a six year old boy and I am his weird cousin that eggs him on. Either way it was a good bonding time for us. I really enjoy being around Kersh. You never realize just how much you can learn from a six year old until you take the time to do things they enjoy (even if it is gross). Kids see the world different and from a much simpler perspective because they do not have to pay bills or feed a family, but sometimes it is good to stop and look at the world through their innocent eyes. It never hurts to stop being a "grown up" and dig a grave for a dead bird or go splashing in puddles. Take time to enjoy the simple things in life, maybe stop for a moment and smile like a kid, or run down the block chasing a lightning bug. Do not pass up the moments to have a little fun or invest love into a child... You will not regret it if you take a moment and stop worrying about what people will think if they see you acting like that.(trust me I am sure I look dumb splashing in puddles and having a ceremony for a dead bird, but it is those things that keep you laughing and keep you young). So take a moment and learn from a child, learn about what is really important, take a moment to listen to their honest words and you might just be surprised at what a kid can teach you.
