In the beginning....

There was darkness.
And then God said, 'Let there be light'
And there was light.

Spoken from a five year old at night.

'Hold my hand'
'Why?'
'I'm scared'

A conversation with another five year old at night.

It's beyond my understanding.
What is it about night and the little ones?
But it's good enough for me.

I have not been acting like an idiot for a very long time.....(donuts not counted! At least that was not in public.....)
Night Safari did me in. Squealing at almost every animal. Trying to wake up zebras sleeping on their legs and scaring deers to move. Sadly, they must be used to all that idiotic methods of gaining their attention. They just stared or totally ignored me. And the zebras slept on.
All around, most of all, it was awesome to see these creations of God. The rhinoceros and hippopotamus with such small ears and huge bodies. A nursing baby elephant. A lone white swan that should be in bed by then (I bet it was a teenage swan, rebelling). The prowling black panther that looks ready to eat you. Silly otters dancing in the water.
The zoo is the place to go to if you wanna be amazed and be filled again with child wonder.
Unless the sights of caged animals isn't your cup of tea.
