We're smarter than children, no doubt about that. We've been to places. We've experimented. We've pushed our boundaries and those of the world around us.

So what does sitting with children do to us? How can an hour with a human being under the age of four help us in any way?

Again, you might need to trust me on this one, but that's too simple. Maybe the answer is that while we spend our days pushing against the pressures of the world, trying--successfully or not--to overcome or to win over the powers around us, we all need to spend some time with someone who would pull us back, who with a smile will tell us the invisible powers we're fighting against are not just invisible, they're actually non-existent.
