Dear Reader,
I read this article in the NewYorker today about Miyamoto.
“I can still recall the kind of sensation I had when I was in a small river, and I was searching with my hands beneath a rock, and something hit my finger, and I noticed it was a fish. That’s something that I just can’t express in words. It’s such an unusual situation. I wish that children nowadays could have similar experiences, but it’s not very easy.”

I think Miyamoto's lament holds true, not just for the Gen Y children, but for all of us. May be, these experiences are what made Miyamoto a successful video game designer. How do we recapture the 'wonder element' that is so missing in our everyday lives? The answer cannot be as simple as escaping from the urban grind and returning to the tranquility of nature. There has to be something more.
