Living through the eyes of a child....

Posted on Apr 26th, 2007 by Marianne : Spiritual Warrior on the Good Red Road Marianne

Living can be serious business.  

We get tunnel vision and attack each day as something to "get through" rather than lifting our perception to say "Wow, thank you for another day. What new adventure is in store for me? How can I make it the gift it really is?"  


The person that reminds me of this is my son, my ancient one in a little body.  

He says that  if we took more time to read a book... go sit in nature in the park....  watch the animals... relax on a floatie in the pool we would not let life freak us out...He said that when he does this,then he can hear his little voice clearer, and it cleanses his mind..

 "Things would be much clearer" he says.  "When I freak out, I go to my room and read a book, then I feel better."  
 

Is life freaking you out?  

Are you like hennie pennie and running from imaginary fears?
Predicting doom? (watch out for that fox!)  

Are you investing so much of yourself in your job, that you have lost sight of who you really are?  Not being present with the people and things that really do matter?
 

Are you so busy solving the worlds problems that you have a mountain of your own?  

Ask a child their opinion.


Have them show you how to color, tell a joke, be creative, play.  


They are not just children, but wise spiritual beings on a Journey.

Sometimes, they hear the answers clearer than we do.  

All you have to do is ask......... 

 

Here is the thought for the day; 
 

I love the story of the little girl who showed her teacher a picture she painted of a tree. The tree was purple.

The teacher said, "Sweetheart, I've never seen a purple tree, now have I?"

"Oh?" said the little girl. "That's too bad."

Namaste,

How true Marianne!!

The traits of children … trust, inquisitiveness, living in the Now, imagination … are one's we as “staid” adults need to re-visit … always.

And, yes, I LOVE purple trees!!!!!!!  And orange moons … and red daisies … and pink giraffes …

Crazy is wonderful! I personally like all of the above…and more!


My three year old son in 1987 told me he knew what history was….

“when two cars crash together on the highway..they are history”…
How could I argue with that?
