this is really interesting 🤔

I’m fascinated. My kid is in the beginning phases of this right now. Reading this I feel like I should just look away more often than I do, haha.

Also, my friend who grew up in Cork City, Ireland, told me an interesting example of this. According to him, during a certain time of year all the kids go around collecting a particular mushroom outside the city to brew a mushroom tea. He said only children do this, and then they spend the rest of the day daydreaming :)

fascinated by the whole idea. and it feels like something sacred

This is quite remarkable. The culture of children are indeed gone unnoticed by adults. So many ideas, thoughts, activities passed down though generations from child to child yet we are so unaware of it.
