Here is an incredible story about an eight- year-old Matteo making friends with the alpine marmots, and normaly these animals are very shy around humans! The pictures of Matteo and the marmots are so delicate and revealing that it made me think about how children are always so skilful, so able to built such sincere and profound relationships with us adults, with animals, and our earth. And it comes so easy and naturally for them! I wonder what makes so many of us to loose that incredible ability of easiness towards the surrounding world on our way through life ? That is sad when you think about it.
