8/12/02 "The Love of God"

 

This afternoon Ananda woke up from a nap, crying. She said she had

had a bad dream but could not remember what it was and it seemed as

if nothing I could do would help her. She sat in my arms and cried,

"Mommy! Mommy!" I started to respond as usual, with "What is it,

Honey? What can I do for you?" But then it hit me: she wasn't

exactly talking to me. She was crying the word "Mommy" in the same

manner that an adult would cry a word like "God," only she was

looking right in my eyes while she was doing this and my silence only

intensified it and so what could I say? Not having the slightest

idea, the words that came out were exactly the ones that were needed:

"I love you. I love you, Sweetie. I love you so much. I love you

SO much. Every minute I love you. Oh, Honey, I love you so very

much."

 

Then the storm was gone without leaving a single trace behind.
