Kindling the Kid

 Kindling the Kid


A youngster asked a monk,

"Are you a 60s kid" the monk replied, "No."

The youngest once again asked.

Are you a 70s kid" The monk replied, "No.

The youngster, with doubt, asked.

Are you an 80s kid" The monk replied, "No.

The youngster asked, "How old are you?"

With a smile, the monk said, "If you ask the right question, you will get the correct answer.

The monk added by saying " Never ask how old you are; ask how young you are."

The youngster apologized and asked, “How young are you?

The monk replied, " I am a kid forever in an ageing body."

The youngster asked, " Master can you explain your answer?"

The monk said, "Ageing is a natural process, but to feel young is a choice; when there is a kid inside me, there is curiosity, joy, and willingness to forgive.

The youngster, with a smile said, "Thank you, master, for kindling the kid in me."
