This arose when a friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. I thought how we age and die while somewhere within remains this gentle, curious child. I hope I caught the wistful sentimentality in the man's expression that I feel when I look back on the child I was, the child that still exists within, beneath the aging skin and fading eyes.
