Talk with him or her often.
Ask him to remind you to be wide-eyed.
Seek her counsel and lean into her innocence.
Think back…How did you see before you were taught in/out, up/down, left/right, right/wrong, or winner/loser?
The inner child knows these answers.
Before we started to analyze everything we simply experienced everything.
So may you……simply…
………………………………………..experience…
………………………………………………………………..everything.
The you that is truly you will be so glad to see you again.
We prefer explanation over mystery.
We worship answers in lieu of honoring questions.
But what if we began to accept that rune is the place where comfort and peace reside?
I bet we’d start to enjoy drawing from the universal deck of surprise and delight over playing our victim and comparison cards.
Let it be.

…happens when our scattered being arrives at a place of centeredness…
…when our peace surpasses our understanding…
