Leafy Logic

Leafy at the beach-1.jpg

So there's that Coldplay song, you know- Lost? The lyrics go like this:

"Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost..."

and

"Just because I'm hurting doesn't mean I'm hurt..."

The Leafy Boy absolutely loves to riff on them. He's non-stop. It's just his sort of odd logic. Here are a few gems.

Just because I'm a book, doesn't mean people read me.

Just because I'm a baby, doesn't mean I have no hair.

Just because I'm a house, doesn't mean that people live in me.

Just because I'm hurt, doesn't mean I fell.

Just because I'm playing, doesn't mean I'm having fun.

Just because I'm an ant, doesn't mean I'm small.

I'm not so sure about the logic of the last one, but I guess if size is more about perception, every ant is going to be big to someone.

The beauty of your kiddos takes my breath away sometimes-I'm not joking. They are incredible...and so very funny.

Priceless! It is so much fun to have a little philosopher/poet in the house. Makes life so un-dull. I think my favorite is, 'just because I'm playing...' Too wry! I love it. And your blog. I comment not-very-much, sorry, but I've come to love and appreciate you so much through your writing, pictures, and the spirit that shines through it all. Your letter to Fear was SO good. I've had to write a few to him myself. God go with you and keep you all in the next phase of your journeying. Peace.
