Innocence
Innocence is the original clarity of being, the state before interpretation, before knowing becomes a burden.
It is not naïveté, but perception unclouded by memory, a way of seeing that has not yet divided the world into right and wrong, mine and not mine.
In innocence, life appears as it is: fresh, immediate, and complete. Each moment arrives without demand, each experience untouched by expectation.
This virtue invites a return to the simplicity that has never been lost, only forgotten beneath layers of thought and defense.
Innocence trusts the unfolding of life. It meets existence with openness rather than control, with wonder rather than suspicion.
Here, wisdom is quiet. Truth is simple. And the miracle is not extraordinary, it is what has always been here, waiting to be seen again.
