All children are sacred and to be cared for.
Sacred Child
We are all born every time a new child is born.
From Revisiting The Enchanted Garden 1980’s
I came upon a baby picture of myself yesterday. I saw for the first time in my life perhaps, this precious little innocence, maybe three or four, riding in his little truck, wearing his overalls. He was looking at a baby kitten: both of them had their hair all furred up and messy, like their momma in the sunny wind had gotten to them with her gentle fun-loving hand.
This precious little commodity deserved the best, and a place to unfold his natural little being. He wasn't to be judged. He wasn't to be looked at according to how well he measured up to someone else's standard. He didn't have to be tested to see if he was good enough. There was a place for him inherent in his birth, in the glorious miracle that he was alive and moving and innocently exploring a new world.
What he needed was space – space to create, space to create that new world. He deserved to be loved and nurtured and caressed and supported and sort of checked in with from time to time and asked, “How are you doing, little holy person?”
And most of all, I saw I had to love that little child, because he was me, and still alive, still exploring and still ready to create that new world. And in that moment I knew – we are all born every time a new child is born.
