She may be young, but she understood every word … and more than that, she could read my energy. She knew I meant what I said.
“My little girl, I am so deeply sorry for the hurtful things I’ve said to you. You are not a nightmare, nor have you ever been. Yes, sometimes your behaviour is challenging, but you, YOU are a precious, joyous being – a delight. YOU are a divine expression of love. You are so loved, special and important and I am so very grateful you are in my life. I’m sorry for my lack of understanding and patience. Please forgive me. I love you so much my beautiful angel.”
It’s long I know, but the remarkable thing is that she couldn’t get enough of it. She smiled and giggled and wriggled but stayed in my arms as I told her more and more.
That afternoon was the easiest we’ve had in weeks.
Both of our hearts were lighter. We played, we laughed, we danced and she was a different kid.
She bathed and ate dinner with ease then went to bed without a fuss.
I am not exaggerating.
When we own our shit, when we take responsibility as a parent (or citizen!) for how we are contributing to someone else’s experience, healing occurs.
I’m not saying it’s easy, nor that she won’t challenge me with her behaviour again. But if we are WILLING. If we care enough, we have the power to make or break these little spirits.
I hope my story inspires you to reflect on your own experiences.
We must choose the higher road, recognizing that when we know better, we also must do better.
Namaste dear friends,
Love,
Kim
