Daily Question, November 27

What discovery from my childhood continues to inform my life?

  • GCharlotte

    Childhood soccar playing with the ball in a formal match with teams sharing the spirit to get a goal or to defend the ball from entering the territory. It was and still recants the fellowship of neighbor and God.

    My heritage; also that there is magic in nature.

    For years I thought it was a dream. I saw most of it, though some were clouded. Blurry. I knew what everything sounded like. Felt like. And it always ended the same. I was able to determine my age because I could see the house where we lived. By my description, family members told me where it was and how old I was when we lived there. It wasn't until many years later, I finally understood that it wasn't a dream. Lots of years have gone by since. Even though I wish I could say that discover...

    For years I thought it was a dream. I saw most of it, though some were clouded. Blurry. I knew what everything sounded like. Felt like. And it always ended the same. I was able to determine my age because I could see the house where we lived. By my description, family members told me where it was and how old I was when we lived there.

    It wasn’t until many years later, I finally understood that it wasn’t a dream.

    Lots of years have gone by since. Even though I wish I could say that discovery hasn’t impacted my life, I am fortunate that I can now sit with myself, learning to breathe through anxiety and see the sunshine’s strong, brilliant rays peeking through those oppressive clouds.

    And then my heart explodes into great joy, and I am grateful for Life. I choose to honor this Gift of Life. Yours and mine. Amen.

    There is not enough time in this day to list all the incredible things from my childhood that continue to inform my life every day. And even if I did take the time, I wouldn’t list them, because I’m Living them, every day

    When I was a child, in a room on the second floor of our home in Port Credit, at a time when I was deeply unhappy, emotionally in pain, excluded and alone, I could see the stars shining through my window at night and was reassured. A sense of eternity, of something far greater than the tiny, sad little world I lived in my day to day life, and a sense of being loved and of belonging came to me on those lonely nights.
