I just had to use this adorable image of the long-legged beauty with her puppy loves. I find it very appealing. This Child that has returned to me, she has her own way of knowing how to live in the world of ever changing scenery. To evoke the spirit of joy in these difficult times, seems the right thing to do. The Child is our True Nature that lives the divine Balance. This Child is both carefree and unconcerned, while intuitively knowing what to do and how to do it. The Child is the natural spirit of Tao, It lives the middle way. The Balanced way does not go to extremes. It remains peaceful and easy while navigating the good times and bad. Without the old paradigm of the tangled struggle to understand, along comes this relaxed mind and spirit that feels like a puppy on a walk, tail wagging, exploring, curious and excited. Puppy love, trusting Life, an uplifted spirit filled with joyful expectancy at every new turn along the way. When we find this Child then the ordinary becomes infinitely extraordinary. Our mind is taken off the leash and we let ourself roam gently, like a happy puppy who knows his master is near by. We are Life Itself, we are alive, wholly living this experience of Being, undaunted by the unknown. We have found the real and fearless freedom is here as the very Life we are.
Sandy, funny how things turn out, I mean, after becoming so fatigued with seeking for what, you’re never quite sure, and a sort of gradual dropping away of the importance of finding, and, then as you say in your sections below—

Without the old paradigm

‘…trusting Life,
an uplifted spirit filled with
joyful expectancy at
every new turn along the way.’

I am always so very happy when my words have been liberating in some sweet gentle way. Just to be the Pure Heart of the Child and not worry as if there is something to get. There is only to LIVE and let it take us feeling the freedom and joy of living this Mysterious Wonder of our very own Being, Life Itself –
