…children are born fully fluent in this primal, nonverbal dimension of knowing. They need time to develop the wraparound of cognitive, linguistic, and abstract thinking, but young children don't have to learn the "how' or the "what" of spiritual engagement. Bird and flower, puddle and breeze, snowflake or garden slug: all of nature speaks to them and they respond. A smile, a loving touch, the indescribable bond between child and parent … all of these speak deeply to them, too. Spirituality is the language of these moments, the transcendent experience of nourishing connection. Spirituality is our child's birthright.2
Have you been nourishing your own inner child spiritual connections to nature or people or both lately? Have you with your child? It's Spring for heaven's sakes. Get outside and start blowing kisses. Every thing is popping out from winter--dressed up in their prettiest colors for US to notice! Start your pointing, start your AWE-ING, and your kiss blowing if you haven't already. Doesn't mother earth deserve it? Doesn't your soul and your child's? Awareness and Gratefulness are powerfully healthy!
I see my purple blossoms outside my window now. Pucker and a blow...Whooooooo.....
I'm out of here on a blossom color adventure for a fill up...
