Wim Wenders' "Wings of Desire" is almost a totally black and white movie (despite the fact that it was released in 1987) , in which angels dream of becoming mortal..
I really liked the lyric that accompanies the movie.
Song of Childhood
By Peter Handke
When the child was a child
It walked with its arms swinging,
wanted the brook to be a river,
the river to be a torrent,
and this puddle to be the sea.
When the child was a child,
it didn’t know that it was a child,
everything was soulful,
and all souls were one...
The poem continues here:

i'm glad that trains to Charing X didn't run properly today, as thanx to this i had a long walk on my way to work and on the way back too. i change the route though, to see more. and the stroll was well worth it, as there's normally no time to just walk and look around and contemplate and 'take a deeper breath'..

careful with that deep breath. careful with the "London-air"... :)
i still ask 'why am i me, and not you?'
so am i a child?
yes you are. everybody is to a certain extend i believe. but maybe one is a child only in his/her thoughts..
yeah, i even thought what a paradox it was that i felt how nice it was to breath-in deeply, as i was strolling through the city of London. smells bring memories. anyway...
and just to answer your question my child:) - you are yourself and not me,for for instance, as it would be impossible for me to be the outcome of a combination of your parents' genes. if u get me?..:)
yes, but i'm inside me, and you are inside you. why is my sense mine, and not urs, and why have i only one sense? and why does my sense only have one body/life? or if not, why doesn't it remember? hmmm?
does it sound paranormal? :)
so now ur talking about a spiritual-u, right? and another thing is that u, in ur body, are born with your senses. i would say that they (ur senses) r being created as u r being 'made. simply speaking:) and u have 5 of them Honey and not just one. well, there r six senses as some belive. women's intuition for instance:)
and i cannot answer ur question why u (or it as u stated?;) don't remember ur other lives. u'd better attend this hypnosis session if ur so concerned about it:) sorry, but if u want to be so philosophical now, you have to ask a philosoph, as i'm off to bed soon. X
a philosopher i wanted ot say ;)
