Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Yesterday Debi was having a bad day. Stomach pain, we think. She was very very fussy, and very very upset. The only thing that seemed to help was bouncing her at arms length. One hand under butt, one hand under head. Stop bouncing = fussy baby, keep bouncing = calm baby. She was in a particularly difficult period when I took to lifting her with my arms wrapped around her chest under her arm pits. This was the first time I had boosted her up and down like this. As I talked to her, looking into her eyes, telling her how much I desired her peace and wishing that she would feel better, she looked intently at me with love in her eyes and then she smiled! She went from crying to laughing in a matter of seconds. Not only had the up and down motion of the lifts and falls made her feel better, but they made her feel happy. It seems that the ups and downs made her move from the downs to the ups, emotionally speaking. Today I realized that she is the ideal. She has little mind to interfere with her experiences. So she moves from each experience to the next without any thought of where she came from or where she's going. She lives in the present because she has no mind to do otherwise. One moment she was in pain and complaining about it, the next she was happy and smiling because of it. She did not judge her pain, nor declare it wrong. She did not judge her happiness or declare it right. She just experienced both and moved on. She will not remember any of this when she gets older, but I will remember i t for the rest of my life. My question is: should I be happy I remember her lesson, or should I be sad that I don't let it go like she does? She is my guru. She is my test. She is the goddess I love best.

Namaste Brian, Happy that you have that as a reference, and to let go of your own ups and downs. A good lesson and a reminder of the childlike wonder for me.
