Words of Life

You can speak to your children of life, but your words are not life itself. You can show them what you see, but your showing and their seeing are forever different things.You cannot speak to them of divinity itself, but you can share with them the millions of manifestations of this reality arrayed before them every moment. Since these manifestation have their own origin in the Tao, the visible will reveal the invisible to them. Don't mistake your desire to talk for their readiness to listen. Far more important are the wordless truths they learn from you.  If you  take delight in the ordinary wonders of life, they will feel the depth of your pleasure and learn to experience joy. If you walk with them in the darkness of life's mysteries you will open the gate to understanding.
They will learn to see in the darkness and not be afraid.

Authors Note: Go for a slow and mindful walk. Show them every little thing that catches your eye. Notice every little thing that catches theirs. Dont look for lessons or seek to teach great things, just notice. The lesson will teach itself.

Katie's Interpretation- Words of Life: Sometimes saying nothing speaks louder than words. Dont drown out the kids with all your worldly knowledge on a topic, you may be pushing them away from the enjoyment. Simply relish in something with them, and let the moment speak for itself, which can lead to their own enlightenment.
