upside down

When we are young it seems that the whole world is vastly unreachable and far too big to comprehend. I remember sitting at the top of our driveway and looking down to where the pond was. It's probably 100 yards but man back then it seemed like miles away. What about swinging? What a joy. Holding on tight and leaning as far back as possible and watching the world flip over and become bigger and smaller right in front of your face. You know..mayber that is why we experiment with mind altering substances, trying to relive the imagined world we used to know. It seems we grow up and forget all about the power of pretend. Now, if we are montarily fourtunate, we can visually stimulate ourselves with little effort of our own brains. The capabilities of some are filled to peak while others only bask in their creations. Trying hard now can be defined more by how long something takes as opposed to what labor was actually used to mold our inventions. As a younger mind and a smaller body we grasped the concept of creation, imagination and true joy than our current more advanced versions. Maybe a little more time spent in wonderland would be beneficial to the lives and time we freely turn our backs on.
