Loving the Box

Loving the Box

When I was young, I knew the wisdom
So many presents showered on me and...
I loved the box

Creativity
Transformation
Freedom
Fun

As I got older, I knew the knowledge
The stuff inside the box was good
I used the stuff

Logic
Efficiency
Obedience
Practicality

At a job interview, I applauded the box
I stayed inside and followed the rules
I trusted the box instructions

Known
Rigid
Constrained
Blind

Suddenly life couldn't be contained in the box
Life wanted to play with the box
Not be the box

Chaos
Confusion
Energy
Crumbling

As I got older, I knew the life wisdom
With childlike wonder I play with the box
And use the contents wisely

Creativity
Practicality
Freedom
Efficiency
