The Sense of Awe in Children
Remembering our sense of awe at any age
The other evening the stars were gleaming and I saw a meteor stream across the deep ocean of night sky.
The sky bejeweled with the dappled lights seemed so still as the meteor streamed by.
What is it about natures natural magic, the magic that nature's power makes in cells, lights, and space?
Perhaps we remember the continual gentle glimmer, a woven thread spark that shines through and there is the connection that has always been, reminding us of our before, before time and then here in life, here in our day reminding us of our souls journey.
Reminding us of how children see miracles every day.

Imagination and the Mystical Experience
I do not know at what age I began using my imagination to help me understand life, yet by age 8 it had become a natural relationship. Nature itself became a place of solace and learning where my imagination could thrive and mystical experiences could be observed daily. It seems natural when I look back over my life now. It seems natural that our world could share with us in countless ways through all the creation that lives and breathes here with us.
