This chance to be.. recognize this as a holy expierence... to be alive and breathing.) It all flows.

Just think of the innocence that baby has when it sees the "beauty' of the color red for the first time. He or she is probally wonderous. I don't want to act like I konw maynard or try to think I know the way he thinks.. I just can't help but to relate the way his lyric goes into: "Accepting Beauty with Innocence"..

Thats the only way I can put it.. I read in an interview with maynard and he said that the moon told a secret: That our self or egos are just a reflection of what we see and or hear". So accepting things with the innocence of a child and recognizing beauty like that of a new born child seeing red and yellow for the first time is a great place to start.

A new born is not flawed and is also egoless, but is in reverence to that particular shape or color soley because the baby is innocent.
I agree, this song is all about learning to appreciate life in general. So many people take it for granted and never "stop to smell the roses" as the saying goes. Learn to appreciate what you DO have and worry less about the things which you do not. Always easier said than done, especially when faced with adversity.
