Put your thoughts to sleep,
do not let them cast a shadow
over the moon of your heart.
Let go of thinking.
do not let them cast a shadow
over the moon of your heart.
Let go of thinking.
~ Rumi
We have heard it said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and the soul is very present in children... We have all been children, and we all have memories of our childhood: those experiences of the emotional body which are palpable and still radiating from us. Those experiences have consolidated and crystallized the imprints upon which act as our frame of reference for who we are, and what we are allowed in our life today. When we make contact with that inner child, we are able to shift from the emotional body's experience to the deeper, more profound love of our cosmic self. The child reminds us that God laughs.
