Wisdom of a Three-Year Old

I received this lovely little note from my friend Jessica, with a song her three-year-old daughter Greta composed for me, my little soulmate.

Dear Mary,

Greta asked me what I was reading and I said a letter from you and you were sad and needed some cheering up.

How would you cheer someone up who was sad? And this is what she sang:

"Sometimes when I'm sad, or mad, or glad
I sing about a duck in a nest
With an egg and a worm
This nest is the best
Love this nest
The end"

I kind of think there is some deep wisdom here and I sure would never try my hand at doing any better than that.

I read a lot of Duckdreams. I had no idea you and Greta have the deep connection you have.
Love from us, Jessica and Greta
