As I write this, I am blessed to look outside and observe the season’s first experience of Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow. Through the eyes of my 2 year old, this is a miracle! Through mine, I see traffic problems, mud and potential law suits if someone falls!
And, it makes me wonder why I didn’t see it as a miracle at first.
Make no mistake; the opportunity to tune in through young eyes is a wonderful one. It reminds me of all that I have taken for granted as the mantle of maturity has been thrust my way, reluctantly, as I move into my 6th decade on the planet.
Through his eyes, I can obviously reconnect to the awe of the experience. And, the deep roar of a belly laugh as snowballs started flying at the windows allowed me to delve into the magic of the season and to observe how simple it was for him to Let it Flow, Let it Flow, Let it Flow!
I won’t be the first to suggest to any one that we should always attempt to find the “real” world through the eyes of a child. But, the opportunity to actually do so has impressed upon me the fact that in their world, all is well, and the sense of doom and gloom we adults often carry with us does nothing for the “flow” we continue to look for on a daily basis.
And so the word play of Let it Flow…and…Let it Snow is a great reminder for the power we have within when the focus and consciousness is present to experience it in the “now” moment. Prior to that snowy morning, I had shifted to the world of man…instead of the world of Spirit. My level of consciousness had dipped and my experience was one of that realm. How wonderful to have my son, “re-mind” me to get out of my “mind” and into his realm of pure experiential joy. As the saying goes, “A little child shall lead them…” And, so, he did.I noticed for the balance of that day an opportunity to go back and experience the joy and laughter from his perspective…and so I did. He raised me up multiple times as the duties and responsibilities of this plane kept trying to bury me in silly details.
To say that his flow became mine is a gross understatement. I found myself laughing out loud as I recalled the events of the morning and in doing so, assisted others in the elevation of their moods and their experiences. One little child, open to new and amazing experiences, had a profound effect on me and those in my field, and I dare say that he had an effect on others as well.
Whether it is the Snow or the Flow, I remain re-minded of my challenge and opportunity daily…at least through the winter!!
May this find you and yours in the midst of a magical and “re-membering” experience as the Holidays approach. Multiple blessings this season so that you, too, can remain in the flow.
