The once was a child, but they did not know they were a child... but one day there was this other person... looked a lot like them but larger... what
are you asked the child... well Im an adult said the adult. The child thought about this and asked... is this why you are so big?... the Adult said
why, yes it is... The child pondered again and remained silent... one day the child found a cigarette and was walking around with it in their
mouth.... the adults were ghast whos the child with the cigarette they exclaimed... they asked the child where did you get that cigarette?... the
child said thats not as important as me asking if anyone has a match... the adults were taken aback... no youre a child smoking is not for kids they
clamoured... but im an adult see me smoking said the child?... oh youre not smoking said the adults in a harumph... they snatched the cigarette
away.... the child was confused and thought all I did was watch what adults do... the child thought again what should I do to become and adult if
doing what they do doesnt get there.... so he asked another adult how does one be an adult?... they said well get a job and support yourself of
course... so the child thought about it and said yes thats right they are always busy too busy to be a child.... so the child picked a bunch of lemons
cracked open his jar of coins and set up a lemonaide stand... some folks were delighted oh such a hot day thamks other kids were too opening their
jars of coins just to buy some, one adult puffed no you dont we have some at home and dragged the child off in a huff.... soon a police person showed
up.... do you have a permit for this lemonaide stand asked the police person?... the child said no im an adult I dont need one.... the police person
was confused no youre a child.... the child said no i have a job that makes me an adult.... well not without a permit your not take it inside kid....
so the child dismantled the stand and took it inside... the child thought i need a permit that must of mean I needed permission... so the child said
to an adult I need permission for a lemonade stand will you give me permission?... the adult said I dont have the authority to do that.... so the
child thought hmmm even adults dont have authority what is authority must come from one that gives permission or allows something.... the child
thought again if some adults dont have authority or permission then why arent they a child too... confused the child sat under a tree for a long time
where nothing made sense esecially adults unless they had permission for a job but was told to get one... all of this became a jumble and the child
stopped thinking under the tree and just sat there.... after awhile the child started looking around and saw a small tree... the child thought there
are child trees and adult trees... the child thought im sitting under an adult tree.... and the child tree is way over there seems it has the same
issue as humans.... so the child thought well whats the difference between child tree and adult tree except that distance away?... the child thought
some more about trees then noticed a flower.... oh thats it the child exclaimed they grow!.... then the child thought somemore if cigarettes and jobs
or permission didnt make one an adult... then it was growth that did... then the child was a bit more confused.... adults can and cant do things as an
adult like a child.... so still confused he remembered the police person telling him he couldnt then another adult saying he could give permission...
so some had authority to take his cigarette, job and lemonaide stand away.... but no one seemed to be able to give permission just take things
away.... still very confused the child sat and thought again.... there must be something larger than adults like this tree perhaps it knows.... so the
child asked the tree, tree youve grown do you have permission to be what you are?.... tree just sat there.... child just sat there... child thought
maybe that was the wrong question.... strong silent type eh tree? What authority do you have just to sit there asked the child?.... the tree just sat
there.... hmmm thought the child frustraited and upset.... the child got up kicked the tree and stormed off.... in a moment of regret knowing the tree
had done nothing but sit pondering too... the child turned to apologize yet the tree was already waving good bye.... and in that moment, the child was
enlightened.
