Kids the Same

I've likely writ this before, but I notice often in foreign cultures how similar the sounds and energy of babies and children are. I can close my eyes and imagine we're anywhere. There must be cultures where that wouldn't hold but there are so many places where it does. I think it's true for adults too but we've grown more far apart. Still I see them all as just others mes. Actually, the dogs too. I guess the trees and the rocks and clouds. But the kids for sure. - DC
