kid story

[Guest guest]

Ok, here's a kid story.

 

Yesterday I finished the Vishnu Sahasranam. It was glorious. My

son, Will, who is 5, came into my room to hang out with me. I asked

him if he wanted to sit at the altar and he did. We played

the "guess who (which deity) I'm going to offer this flower to"

game. He puts the flower to his heart and then on his nose (ajna

chakra) and has me guessing. I'm ALWAYS wrong! We laugh at how I

can't get this right! He likes to play with the Shiva Lingam : "Is

he really inside here?!"

 

Later, as I pulled into the car wash (yes I got stuck in mud) I

said "We are all dirty, Will, need to get a wash" and he paused for a

moment and said "No, Mommy, we're clean, it's just what's carrying us

that's dirty!". I loved that!

 

Last one:

 

A few weeks ago I was driving around with same child and we were

listening to the Shree Maa "OM" CD. As Shree Maa is Ommmming away I

turned the rearview mirror to look at Will--no reason. He was

looking out the window up to the sky and with furrowed brow, not

taking his eyes from the sky, he said "Mommy, I don't WANT to do it

all over again!" I knew what he meant--a question I had struggled

with,myself, for a long while--the seeming futility of "starting

over" with every lifetime. I comforted him and told him that Mommy

would help him and he would have a good life and learn alot. What

else to say?

 

Much love, many blessings!
