Something rather remarkable happened today....
My inner child came out to play...
I didn't know she even still existed...
And yet, there she was.
As our yoga practice began this evening, my instructor offered the intention of remembering to be childlike....
She asked us to think about a child in our lives, and before the images of my own children could even pop up - her little voice called "Hello Emily"... and suddenly she was there.
Later... when she recalled us to think of that child, it was in the context of thinking if the children in our lives need our help or support in any way... again, there were the faces of my own children in my mind... and my intention to live love.... but more than that, there was my inner child.... and my lifelong yearning to be loved.
A tear welled up in my eye.... my inner child is alive and well... and she wants to come out and play, but most of all she wants to be loved.
Oh, the things we learn from children... and from remembering the power of being childlike even as adults....
Aloha and namaste....
Emily
