Sarah came running in. “Look what I found.” Over the top of the paper I was reading came a crispy(松脆的) long object that caused me to jump. It was a snake that had been shed by one of our many garden snakes.
“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my wide-eyed seven-year-old.
I started at the organic wrapper and though to myself that it really wasn’t that beautiful, but I have learned never to appear uninterested with children. They see only good quality and excellence in the world until educated otherwise.
“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.
“Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves, ” I explained. “Why do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.
I suddenly remembered an article on this page many years ago where the writer was expressing her concept renewal. She used layers of paper over a wall to describe how we hide our original selves, and said that by peeling away those layers one by one, we see the original beneath. “We outgrow some things and find other out unwanted or unnecessary. ” Sarah was getting the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand, although slightly, that renewal is part of progress.
“I see, Dad,” said Sarah and jumped off my lap and ran off.
I hope she would remember this. That often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of communication and culture with which we cover ourselves year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless or unnecessary
