No Walls For The Small

As a mom and a writer it is hard to make time for my craft.  I think any artist who is a parent understands this, and those who are not artists know that it is hard as a parent to make time for yourself, period.  A brilliant woman and expert in the field of childhood education once told me that as a parent you have to think of yourself as a pitcher of water.  If you do not keep yourself full you have no means to share with your family, to keep them fulfilled. 

That being said, it has been a struggle for me to upkeep this good work here.  I had to let it go in order to focus on other tasks at hand.  But writing is what keeps me full, and that being said...I am back.

Having two children less than two years apart has been a mind blowing experience.  In the past year and a half, I have learned more than I could have ever imagined about myself as a woman and as a mammal on this crazy rock we call Earth.  Every day my children teach me things in a way that brings back my faith in humanity.

They are lessons that any human could learn from.  The reality is that young humans are closer to the Source, and that makes them pretty freaking awesome.  More in tune with the Universe than grownups. 

So, what does it mean to be childlike?  Playful, open, reactionary, original...what does it mean to you?  I am curious...
