Innocence Lost Comments

That means a lot to me, Chinedu!

Succinctness has not been a forte of mine. I'm striving to reach it through my poetry. THX for your positivity, Kesav!

What we do with that innocence over the course of our lives is what matters. Time can make or destroy us. Nosheen, THX for your insightful comments and positive appraisal.

Greatly appreciate your enthusiastic response, Dr. Nehal!

The natural childlike innocence and spiritual wisdom of a Gerard Kerouac has been eroded over the course of time. We only experience guilt if we haven't learned from that innocence.

Wait until you read my responses to Dillip. They're brutally honest and very heartfelt. THX, LeeAnn for reading and responding positively!

I'll take Gerard Kerouac's concept of spirituality and wisdom. And he was only 9 years old when he died. Some had believed that he was a bona fide saint. I guess that I'm an optimistic pacifist!

I was very fortunate to have had some great teachers which eventually led to my professions as counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist.

I gradually lost mine innocence in fighting the hypocrisy that I was witnessing in my religion. Stopped going to church, but became much more spiritual...to this very day!
