I'm so sorry I missed this @kubbyelizabeth. I've barely been on steemit since announcing the result of the contest but this is an extremely thoughtful piece of writing and I agree with you that surrendering yourself to the unknown and accepting it without fear of consequence but with faith in the goodness of life itself, really is true love. Ignorance really can be bliss in a perfect world but unfortunately, this is not a perfect world. To enjoy the love you speak of will take a lot of work and a long time. If we want our children to enjoy it, we need to start now. :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with the world, my friend and please accept my apologies again for taking so long to find you. :)

Have a wonderful day!! :)
