Simplicity…the lack of knowledge…purity…Remember when?  We can always choose to take it back…the sanctity of the finer side of being a child is still locked somewhere within each and every one of us…

One way to find the way back to love, is to summons that part of us when innocence was our way of discovery along the path of life…

Therefore, everyday…celebrate, and call forth your innocence…with the heart of a child…

Yesterday, the sky grew dark, and before I knew it, the rain came pouring down.  I went downstairs to the door, took off my shoes, and went outside into the pouring rain! I stood in the front yard, as my neighbors sat on their porch, safely enjoying the downpour, and suddenly, I just started to whirl like a dervish as the rain soaked through my clothes!  It was so wonderful! People passing in cars, waved and smiled…another neighbor and his daughter started walking in the rain, and I stopped my dancing to just stand…with my face looking up into the falling rain…enjoying this manna from heaven, which also cooled down the humidity in the air.  I took my bare feet to the water in the street, stepped into the puddles and kicked up my heels, splashing and enjoying the freedom and cleansing this summer rain had gifted…

Then…it was over.  The rain had stopped, and the sun found its way out again…I went back indoors, still soaking from the rain…my pants, wet up to the knees from the puddle playing…I was still reeling with excitement of this simple pleasure!

Innocence is release…Innocence is the purity of your peace within…Let it go…and remember who you are…

We must remember to let life be sometimes…to step back and take a moment to be…ourselves.

Stop being the expectation of someone else…stop denying your innocence…your purity…your simplicity…Go fishing…take a walk…go on a pilgrimage…fly a kite…go skydiving…blow bubbles…go river rafting…go on a safari…climb the Himalayas…bird watch…go to the Grand Canyon…Dance!

Find your peace…celebrate and release…reconnect with your innocence…embrace the childlike simplicity…that you’ve locked away within…

Once you have refreshed and renewed your spirit…carry on with the tasks at hand…with simplicity…and purity…and a happy heart.

Remember when?

No need to remember…you can always “be”…anytime…anywhere…

Celebrate, and release…return to innocence…

Return… to you….
