The Magic of Bubbles: A Children’s Day Reflection for Us All

By Dr. Yinka Dixon | May 27, 2025

This Children’s Day, I watched a magician do something unexpectedly profound. 

He took nothing but soap, rope, and pure intention and he created the kind of joy that stopped time.

The children screamed in delight as enormous bubbles floated through the air, bursting with colour and wonder. 

They ran. They laughed. They danced. And I stood quietly, thinking…

When did we stop being amazed by simple things?

As adults, especially those of us over 50, it is easy to get caught in routine. 

We chase outcomes, solve problems, and hold everything together. 

But in doing so, have we forgotten how to feel wonder?

This soap-and-rope magic show held a few powerful lessons for us all:


1. Simplicity Still Works
The magician had no gadgets, no tricks, just basic ingredients and intentional creativity. 

It reminded me that impact doesn’t always require complexity

A lot of what we’re looking for might already be in our hands.

 

2. Joy Is Contagious
The children did not analyze or hesitate. They participated. They let go

Sometimes, all we need to revive joy in our own lives is to join the moment rather than observe from the sidelines.

 

3. Wonder Is Not Just for Kids
As seniors, professionals, parents, and grandparents, we have so much knowledge.

But let us not forget the value of curiosity. 

Wonder is a skill. It is not just a feeling. And it can still be cultivated.


So this Children’s Day, I have one simple invitation:
 

Let the magic of bubbles remind you to pause, to breathe, and to believe again

Not everything meaningful needs to be massive. 

Sometimes, it’s just about being present… and catching the bubble before it pops.

 

Wishing you joy, curiosity, and a return to wonder.
 

Happy Children’s Day.
