BABY

I was on the bus yesterday looking at a small baby. The baby was simply being a baby, looking, observing, listening, feeling wonder, feeling life… Her fascinated baby senses open to our kind, gentle, tender world, in awe and amazement of the unique, innate, fascinating beauty of… everything…

As I sat there, communing, meditating with the baby I was thinking about the fact that I was once as open as that baby and wondering exactly when I started to close?

But for a moment, on the bus, with the baby’s help, I relaxed and opened to the tenderness of the world as the baby reminded me the world is actually an extremely tender place.

I realised that tenderness and an ability to receive the tenderness of the world is the baby’s super power, and could be mine again too. My baby guru taught me that if I don’t allow the kind, gentle, tender world to help me, to support me it is actually exhausting and I don’t want to feel exhausted.

So, as the baby and I went our separate ways, I realised I need to get back in touch with a long-lost friend, my own inner baby. I need to make sure she feels happy, safe and secure. I need to give her the love, nourishment, encouragement, joy and playtime she needs so she can remind me of the mystery and magic of every moment.
