Validation

"Where's Jammy?"

Every 5 minutes all day long.

Apparently, a 2 year old misses me.

Best 'you are important' validation EVER.

Sunday Sense(s): Signs and Wonder

"Lai-Lai" & "Jammy"

Airplane flights and time with children are great environments for wonder and reflection.  Some thoughts that have come to mind lately...

~

Unfeigned forgiveness is not dependent on an apology; upon recognition, restitution or the reaching of an understanding.  It is not a compromise or external bargain, but rather a new internal perspective - a change within the viewpoint of your soul.  It is the liberating of your heart from the circumstances of an unfair world, and the choice of freedom from those bonds is dependent on no one else but you. 

 ~

We all face heartbreak and adversity in this life.  The details of our circumstances are simply background - it's the grace, character, and dignity with which we handle them that really matters to the world.

And, a recording of a song I performed in American Sign Language....  I love this song, I feel it to my soul.  

I Know He Lives

Happy Sabbath!

Fascination

Childhood is the world of miracle or of magic:

it is as if creation rose luminously out of the night, 

all new and fresh and astonishing.

-Eugene Ionesco

This is my new little sister Kuralai.

Her eyes are inquisitive, and deep, and steady.

Her mind is alive, and quick, and hungry.

Her fingers are busy and her voice is active.

She is made of, and constantly seeks, all that is new and fresh and astonishing.
(And her hair always sticks straight up.)

I am fascinated by her...
