About this listen

Room 312.

"That's a really silly question," seven-year-old Emma says when asked how she's feeling. "Because feeling things is different than being things."

She draws dying trees and calls them honest. She admits fear and offers friendship anyway. She holds contradictions without needing to resolve them.

"I think God likes honest things best," she writes. "Because they're not trying to be something else."

The kingdom belongs to those who see things as they really are. Not because reality is always beautiful, but because honesty always is.
