As I watch my kids grow, I realize how adults lose their child-like qualities that are so needed in spiritual enlightenment. Child-like is not to be confused with childish! As we grow older, it is up to us to remember our authentic selves - the curious, fearless and all-loving selves. Only by connecting to our inner child can we transcend our society-conditioned ego and begin to see life for what it really is - a world full of love, opportunity and safety.
