A
Sarah came running in.
?/p>
Look what I found.
?/p>
Over the top of the paper I was reading came a
crispy(
松脆?/p>
) long object that caused me to jump. It was a snake that had been shed by one of
our many garden snakes.
?/p>
Isn
?/p>
t it beautiful?
?/p>
said my wide-eyed seven-year-old.
I started at the organic wrapper and though to myself that it really wasn
?/p>
t that beautiful, but
I
have
learned
never
to
appear
uninterested
with
children.
They
see
only
good
quality
and
excellence in the world until educated otherwise.
?/p>
Why does it do this?
?/p>
Sarah asked.
?/p>
Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves,
?/p>
I explained.
?/p>
Why do they
need to renew themselves?
?/p>
Sarah asked.
I
suddenly
remembered
an
article
on
this
page
many
years
ago
where
the
writer
was
expressing her concept renewal. She used layers of paper over a wall to describe how we hide
our original selves, and said that by peeling away those layers one by one, we see the original
beneath.
?/p>
We
outgrow
some
things
and
find other
out
unwanted
or
unnecessary.
?/p>
Sarah
was
getting
the
point.
As
we
talked,
I
knew
that
she
began
to
understand,
although
slightly,
that
renewal is part of progress.
?/p>
I see, Dad,
?/p>
said Sarah and jumped off my lap and ran off.
I hope she would remember this. That often, in order to find our real selves underneath the
layers of communication and culture with which we cover ourselves year after year, we need to
start
examining
these
layers.
We
need
to
gently
peel
some
away,
as
we
recognize
them
to
be
worthless
or
unnecessary;
or
at
best,
store
the
ones
thrown
away
mementoes(
念想
)of
our
promotion to a better vitality or spirit.
