The Child Leads the Way

There’s a passage from the Gospels where Jesus says,
"Unless you become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom."

He wasn’t being poetic.
He was offering a key.

We often imagine spiritual awakening as a kind of becoming—more enlightened, more serene, more perfect. But the truth is more playful than that. It’s not about becoming more. It’s about becoming less burdened. It’s about returning.

The Enlightened Queen once whispered to me:

“The child is not naive. The child is unguarded.
The awakened one sees clearly, but still chooses to wonder.”

Children live close to presence.
They don’t cling to grudges or masks.
They ask questions without needing to own the answers.
They play. They cry. They forgive. They move on.

And so the path inward is not upward—it is downward, like roots. It is softening into curiosity. It is letting joy lead. It is resting in not knowing.

When I hold space for a sound bath, I often invite my participants to reconnect with their inner child. Not as a memory, but as a feeling. That little version of you who once marveled at clouds and danced with shadows? They're still here—beneath the layers. Beneath the noise.

So today, I invite you:

Close your eyes.
Take a breath.
And whisper to your own heart—

“I have not forgotten you.”

Then, smile like you know something the world has forgotten.
Because you do.
