Potential

Kids are amazing. The more time I spend performing for them, the "amazed-er" I get.

 

A child really can embrace the notion that something can magically appear in a bag that was empty just a moment before. They laugh with abandon. Looking cool isn't all that important to a kid.

 

I like kids.

 

When I am on stage doing a show, I look out at the all those little eyes looking back at me in the happy expectation that something wonderful is going to happen.

 

Do you know what I see? A sea of potential. These little people could become anything: writers or lawyers, serial killers or politicians (same difference, I guess.)

 

The world hasn't written on their souls with that indelible marker yet.

 

They could become anything.

 

Which is something else I find really cool. Who knows? Maybe one or two of them will wind up on flickr.
