Wonder | Magical Spoken Word | Harris III

Описание: Special thanks to my friend, poet, and spoken word artist, Amena Brown for help writing the poem for this video! Check out her site! http://www.amenabrown.com
A while back, I saw a child on the street with a single, red, helium-filled balloon.  To most, it was just a balloon.  But to him, it was magical.  He looked at his dad and said, “Look daddy, it’s floating!”  You could tell that it was the first time experiencing a “floating balloon.”  It immediately reminded me of how excited I am to watch my son grow up, and experience so many things that to me, have that “been there, done that” sort of feeling, but to him will be experiences filled with excitement and magic, all because of the wonder of a child.

It’s amazing how as kids, the world is a magical place…then as adults, we grow up, and forget out to wonder. Your school playground is a magical place, until you get bullied by another kid. Your first date is a magical experience, until you get dumped and hurt a few dates later. Your wedding is a magical day filled with wonder and excitement, to be followed by some difficult days and lots of hard work.

The world is a magical place filled with wonder.  That is…until we grow up.  Then we get hurt, burned, and broken, and things aren’t so wonder-full after all.  But what if we could capture that child-like wonder all over again?  What if we could create magical moments that fill our lives and hearts with amazement, like a little kid holding a “floating balloon”?

Special thanks to Dave Altizer, Amy Stanfield, and Kyle Marlett for helping make this video happen, and to Tony Clark for helping create the magic!
