Caroline Calls the Butterflies

DSC06776I just adore a fresh, untainted mind.

Before we arrive on this planet, we are part of the All-Knowing crowd, eager to come here and create our life experience.  Then, because of the way that the system is designed, we have to stash that information somewhere within us for safekeeping while we rely on our grown-ups to nurture our physical selves.  After all, we have to have some time to adapt to living here.

Babies have that original mindset intact.  I can see it sometimes stashed right there behind their eyes when I look into those little peepers.

My niece, who has only been here for a little over two years, still has that unmistakable sparkle in her eyes.  Cara hasn’t been here long enough to encounter enough grown-ups to mess up her original programming.  I’m trying not to be one of the grown-ups who do.

On some mornings I take a walk with young Caroline while her younger brother is napping.   I am in complete awe that she will actually summon the nearby butterflies.  She does it so naturally that I find myself working really hard not to provide her with any ideas that she can’t.  I could try to invite the creatures to flutter around me as Cara does, but I’m afraid that I’ll screw it up with thoughts like “this is ridiculous” and “this will never work.”  Instead, I’ll just admire her work as she walks along singing, “c’mere butterfly” and watch as they start appearing all around us.  Caroline’s own brand of untainted programming works like magic.

Never too late for an old witch to learn some new tricks from a young one.

    You know, I was just thinking about this post today when Caroline was on our steps calling “Boo Kitty!” I told her to keep calling and that he will come to her, but in the back of my head I was thinking of a way I could tell her to come into the kitchen because Boo, our cat, doesn’t want to come downstairs. Instead I kept telling her that he will come. So she kept calling him because she had no other thoughts to interfere, and what do you know, he came running down the steps to Caroline! Just a simple example that pertains to your post, and
    Just shows that believing IS everything :)
