Innocence is the source of love. It is not the same as naivety.
Innocence is openness, it is knowing that life never gives us certainty. Life is change and this produces uncertainty that is reality.
With innocence we accept changes and renounce the need to force others to accept preconceived notions.
Innocence is knowing that life belongs to us.
Our children are ours but they do not belong to us.
The world has many ways to attack innocence and very little to help maintain it.
