Are You Listening??

Shhhhhhhh

Can you hear that? It is the sound of his heartbeat.
I hold him close and listen carefully, not only to what he says to me, but
to what he doesn't say.

I look into his beautiful face and I "see" his potential, his TRUE potential.
The unfolding of spirit into a world of unlimited possibilities. This child that
has come through me to live a life of his own choosing.

Who am I in all this? I am his Mother, his guardian, the one who needs to be
ever present and to TRULY listen and guide him without denying him the space to
grow and learn on his own.

SEE your children! HEAR your children! CHERISH every moment with your children! They need you even when you don't think they do anymore!
