I find it funny when people look at how kids find everything new, fun, and wonderful and say "don't you wish you could see the world like that?". Well, why can't you? You can look at a cellphone as just a bunch of plastic junk that lets you talk to someone else, or you can look at it as something magical, where you can talk into a plastic box and communicate to anyone, anywhere in the world. Amazing.
You can discover the beauty of a spider web, and the frighteningly horribleness of the spider. You can be amazed at how the forest moves in the wind or how the water flows in a stream. Just because you are grown up and may understand a tiny, infinitesimal, fraction of a percent of the current knowledge does not mean that you cannot choose to see every snow fall or sunrise as a new and wonderful discovery.
You don't need to learn how to see the world this way, you can have to remember how. ;-)
