To be more childlike, you don't have to give up being an adult. The fully integrated person is capable of being both an adult and a child simultaneously.

There's love for your parents, your family, your spouse, your partner, your friends, but the nature of the connection you have with your child, there's nothing like it. It has its own character and it's so serious and so powerful, and so it's a prism through which I see everything.
