Perhaps the answer to today’s problems lie, not in going back to the past, but going back to our past.

Our childhood.

Our unfettered ability to experience the delight of each other’s company and friendship.

Joseph Crachiola took this picture in Mt. Clemens, Michigan in 1973. [1]

Instead of adding my thousand words, I’m content to let the picture work its magic.
