My Inner Child's Prayer

"May I keep my heart open with gratitude

and my curiosity alive.

And may I allow my dreams the freedom...

to sprout their wings."

Always keep your inner child close to your heart 

and you will see the miraculous in everything.

This painting is very special and dear to me.

She represents the little angel that lives in

each of our hearts.

 I call her the “child within”.

Through the innocent eyes of the child

 we are able to see beauty all around.

We know that we are creating our world

 and we allow our curiosity to keep us in wonder.

The child reminds us to live in the moment

 where everything is born. 

When we live in each breath we are grateful,

 loving and appreciative for all that we have,

 for we know 

that everything we need is always available.

Fear cannot live in the moment....it needs the

projections of the past or future. 

Breathe in and know the beauty of life.

Adults are obsolete children.  

~Dr. Seuss

What I Learned

While walking through this painting experience 

I was able to go deeply into my inner child.

She taught me many things. 

Some of them I forgot…maybe I was not ready 

to open those doors.

But some of the things stuck…

and they continue to teach me 

and wake me up when I fall back asleep.

Here are a few of them:

"Living in the moment is really

well…it is just living.

For in the moment… 

everything lives."

"The Now moment includes all of the past shadows

 and all of the future possibilities.

Nothing is truly separate."

When we wake up and remember ….

that all we have is NOW...

we are able to breathe life in...

We are able to create our dreams.

"Keep your inner child close to your heart…

for she holds the key to your innocent 

and your creative expression."

"Your inner child quietly waits your embrace…

and she is always ready to dance

with the song of life."

"You never have to grow old….

for old is just a state of mind.

A youthful heart….is an open heart…

which is always ready to expand."

"Embrace your curiosity…

it is your inner child's sense of wonder…

it is where miracles are born."

"Dance to the music of the heart…

let your feet show you the way to your smile."

"Sunshine reflects on the unseen wonders of the moon.

Both the seen and unseen work together

to create all that is….

as above so below."

"Let go….

there is nothing to fear!"

"Still the mind and open the heart…

then together they can flow to the rhythm of life."

Rock your inner child 

and let her know you are always there.

She is the shining jewel in your cradle of life.

"SMILE!! 

The whole world lives 

inside your own heart."

We are all coming home…

so allow everyone to "be" who they are…

and they will let you "be" who you are

without judgment.

Remember who you are…

The One in the All

and

The All in the One.

One Love!!
