Growing Tall but Never Up

"'Curiouser and curiouser!" cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English); 'now I'm opening out like the largest telescope there ever was! Good-bye, feet!' (for when she looked down at her feet, they seemed to be almost out of sight, they were getting so far off). 'Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I'm sure I shan't be able! I shall be a great deal too far off to trouble myself about you: you must manage the best way you can...Oh dear, what nonsense I'm talking! Just then her head struck against the roof of the hall: in fact she was now more than nine feet high, and she at once took up the little golden key and hurried off to the garden door." — Alice in Wonderland

She grows. She grows nine feet high. But she remains full of nonsense, full of questions, full of curiosity. Never lose the admiration of a bubble nor the comfort of a cuddly friend.

Never lose your childlike sense of wonder.
