it takes genius to make things simple- Anat

[Guest guest]

I have a webpage that brings the same idea into focus. Its not

selling anything it is just a poem.

http://www.2coolbaby.com/SoulParenting/s_s/mud_dand.html

 

In fact one of the quotes on my main page is:

" Children are spiritual beings. They naturally have what many of us

spend years to reclaim. What if instead of working on one's " inner

child " as an adult, we remain in the light of our intrinsic

spirituality and retain our childlike wonder and faith? There is a

way to do that. If we recognize and honor our children's innate

spiritual connection they may never have to lose it. " -Mimi Doe

 

This is the theroy that I try to hold to when I put together my

website.
