you are born
driving home from the land... babies asleep before we reach the gate... my monkey says out of blue on a dark starry night.
'mom - the more heart you have the more wise you are... and the more spirit you have the more wise you are. and love, if you have love then it is even better.'
"girl. where'd you learn that? how do you know this to be true?"
'it's a child's thing. i guess it's something that you are born with - and sometimes, when you grow up, well maybe just people forget their spirit. they forget their own hearts and forget how to love and be wise... sometimes at night when it is quiet i remember who i am, and during the day it is busy and i get wild and i lose track of all that...'
you were born in infinite wisdom. now you walk in the cold hard truth of this world we have created. don't forget my sweet angel. don't you ever forget...

beautiful. this literally brought tears to my eyes. your monkey is so insightful... what a treasure.
it's hard to see sometimes when i butt heads with her (she's growing) - but then its times like these when it's quiet - and i am smacked with the fact that she has knowledge of things it's taken me 20 years to figure out (or simply REMEMBER!)
Profound.
She is a reflection of her mama.
