Intimacy and trust

Nothing, or very little in life, can match the trust a child can place in an adult. Tthere I was at Cropredy festival. Saturday, nighttime begins and one pf the lovely daughter's of my wife's brother comes over and says "I'm tired now". A full day or running around and playing games in the most beautiful of music festivals and after a full day, with a blanket around her shoulders she comes to rest on my in my seat as I sit whilst I listen to a very electirifying Nick Harper, most worthy son of Roy Harper. And believe me the word "very" does not do justice to his music, but I digress. Heather alights on my knee and cuddles up and in less than a minute this 7 year old is asleep & content. This has to be the embodiment, the essence of trust. Can you imagine the leaders of opposing factions of whatever war or battle trusting each other to that level?

Perhaps I should just stick to Folk Music... And Groove...
