Childlikeness curiosity and trusting shake up the mind in a way that only innocence can- always eager to know more and ready to fill up the senses with new discoveries to old inventions.
This willingness to freely ask awe striking questions makes the child and childlikeness experience oneness with the cosmos. Simple things capture the attention of inquiring minds with zealous hearts- vulnerable, yet never frazzled.
Trained later to treat life so seriously that the same interesting world then feels unsafe, unlovable and insecure; and the same cosmos is turned into a monster that must be dreaded.
Lies pose like truth and the mind twirls about like leaves in the autumn breeze waiting for decomposition day except that the leaves know no fear and the mind by then is warped with fearful thoughts.
Thank God for the ability to crawl into the soul where truth continues to grab the attention of the childlikeness curiosity with an excitement about bonding with the ‘unknown’ as if somehow convinced that it is very familiar. And it is!
The thing the longer the mind has lived in the social zoo the less it is inclined to remember its true nature- a creature designed to be like God, something that the return to innocence can evoke and reclaim.
Some days I believe that it is a one-time shot; spirit gentle nods me back to reality…and I nod in agreement
That indeed, can be a life long process…

Sometimes I wonder why I ever left the womb
then and again I would never have had the chance to try out the camel through the eye of a needle calisthenics and knowing what it feels like to wander away from 'home'
