Re: telepathy?

I'm so glad you posted this, No_Biz -- I have had similar experiences that cannot be classed as "coincidences" with my daughters (they are 2 1/2). The same sort of thing...I'll think that I need to let the dogs in, and then one or the other will say, "Where's Charlotte?" or I'll think, "we'll have green beans for lunch" and one will say, "Green beans!"

I sort of feel the same way with my dogs in the sense that I can be walking about the house and *intending* to take them out in a couple of minutes, and they'll go sit by the door or start jumping around (we don't have a set schedule for walks so it's entirely unpredictable). But the similar thought I have had is that you spend so much time with either children or dogs (who can't talk at all ever) that there must be another way for them to intuit or sense what we think. The evidence to me has been overwhelming and a good indicator that we have spent "enough" time to know each other non-verbally, if that makes sense.

And I do think that children have abilities and intelligences, and a fundamental connection to the world around them, that are moved out over time with more worldly concerns and clamor. My goal is to keep them in that sort of "magic bubble" for as long as I can -- not in an overprotective sense, but just to encourage them and support them in being the empathic and consciousness-aware creatures that they are right now.

I hope that doesn't sound too treacly. But again, was glad to see your post! I should ask some of my close friends and report back.

Best to all,
