innocence


"innocence, is charm"


hmm.
i just watched the last performance of America's Got Talent.

well.
it was a 6-year-old autistic boy who performed.
he sang.
honestly speaking, for his age, it was already quite good, despite the number of off tune notes.

but that's not the point.
i had a revelation today.

'innocence, is the ultimate charm'

watching a young boy of little stature,
it moved the audience,
because of innocence.
because of the undoubted purity of heart.
the personification of the overly used "ignorance is bliss"
yet. it is not the oblivion that moves,
but innocence.
the very uncorrupted core of the young boy,
as he sang each and every word,
through his slightly shaky voice,
moved thousands. possibly and very likely much more.




hmm...
how i wish i could sing like a child,
the hoarse yet clear voice,
high and not screechy,
pure. yes. pure.


there's something about children who sing,
something about their voices.
it can be so easy to differentiate,
and as easy to appreciate,
whether or not the pitch and stuffs are right.
it wouldn't matter.
as long as it were a child.

cute, much.
