young from "summary" of Water from My Heart by Charles Martin
His eyes were wide, bright, and young. Not in the sense of age, but in the sense of wonder. They held a spark that reminded me of a time when everything was new and exciting, when the world was full of possibilities and adventure. It was a look that spoke of innocence and curiosity, of a thirst for knowledge and experience. As we talked, I couldn't help but notice how his young mind worked. It was agile and quick, grasping concepts and making connections with a speed that left me in awe. He asked questions that were so simple, yet so profound, shedding light on truths that I had long forgotten or never even considered. It was as if he had a unique way of seeing the world, a fresh perspective untainted by cynicism or jadedness. But it wasn't just his intellect that struck me as young. It was also his heart. His capacity for compassion and empathy seemed boundless, as if he had not yet learned to guard himself against the pain and suffering of others. He showed a kindness that was both genuine and instinctual, reaching out to those in need without hesitation or reservation. In his presence, I felt a stirring of emotions that I had long buried beneath layers of cynicism and self-preservation. I felt a longing for the simplicity of youth, for the clarity of purpose and the purity of intention that seemed to come so naturally to him. It was a reminder of what it meant to be truly alive, to embrace each moment with an open heart and an open mind. As I watched him, I couldn't help but wonder how he would fare as he grew older, whether the harsh realities of life would tarnish his bright spirit or whether he would find a way to preserve his youthful exuberance in the face of adversity. But for now, in this moment, he was a beacon of light in a world grown dark and heavy with age. And for that, I was grateful.
