You know – i’ve really watched my daughter, Grace, this week and how she handles herself. She goes about her day being in the moment – whether it be in play or in emoting her needs. I meet here “there” from time to time and, when i do, the moment is so beautiful. When i can’t, it’s because i’m stuck in the faulty programming of the past and she reminds me of that in her own way.
As parents we often think of ourselves as the teachers of our children and how we have to impart our lessons unto them, but perhaps it is the other way around – that they are here to teach us as much as they can. Perhaps our job is simply to get out of the way, gently steer the ship and allow them to unfold into the beautiful miracles they already are.
