Toyland is a very special place
Filled with magic and wonder and imagination.
But once you cross its borders you can ne’er return again.
It is the same with innocence.
As a child we are innocent.
And the world is a place of magic and wonder and imagination.
But one day we wake up and it is all gone.
Our dreams are replaced with cynicism and all of the other other “isms”
That compete for our attention, our vote and our time.
Like Herod who killed the Holy Innocents;
The world seeks to kill our Innocence
And only the Innocence of the Christ child,
Wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger,
Can save us and bring us back to our Innocence.
And this is why we are drawn to Christmas;
Not only to see a Child lying in a manger;
But hoping to find our Innocence once again.
