Love, mystery, and gift.

--by logancurrie, posted Jan 29, 2015

I work at an elementary school. A little five year old boy has taken quite a shine to me. Though nonverbal, he waves to me, smiles at me, tugs my sleeve or pant leg, gives me high-fives, or holds my hand. At Halloween, he wouldn't dress in his cute giraffe costume until he saw me in my ballerina outfit.

I can't explain why he has this affinity for me, nor why I am so taken by him. I accept this joyous mystery as pure gift. Yesterday, as school ended for the day, our paths crossed on my way to the front office.

He let go of his teacher's hand, took mine and excitedly led me to the foyer. He wanted me to meet his parents. A little boy connecting the people he loves. O thank you, my Little Prince. You are he, who exclaimed "it's only with the heart that one truly sees."
