The Man in Black and Rainbows
<p>Their world is small, confined to their physical space. What they see is what they understand. They might be able to comprehend that Grandma lives five hours away by plane. But they don’t comprehend what exists between the endpoints. They understand where they are at the moment, and where they have been.</p>
<p>Like places, children encapsulate and simplify their views of people. Grandma is nice. Uncle Ed is funny. Aunt Milly is a great cook. Mr. Jones is a great athlete. Mrs. Elliot lets us watch TV.</p>
<p>They don’t delve into complexity. That is reserved for the years to come. Children look for good. They only want their world to be safe and fun.</p>
