"Children at play, they really show us how to be. While they are young, they often see what we can't see. Wearing a smile you never have the time to frown. Dreamer of peace, spread some joy around. Wake up sweet dreamer. Dreams will make you free."
That's from an old song, "Sweet Dreamer," on Lenny White's Big City album. I always loved it, especially Linda Tillery's truly soulful vocals. She co-wrote the song with White.
That song sloshed around in my mind while I watched the waves breaking on Point Dume State Beach in Malibu, California recently, and listened to some nearby kids totally enjoying the experience. I was young again, too. In my late teens, working at my college radio station, a sweet dreamer.
Again, so much from quiet. I wish more of that for the world's communicators. Have another experience of it with me, and more shaky video, at Point Dume.
