As being, we are born with caring hearts filled with limitless love, enough to share with the world. I watch in awe as my daughter sleeps, not of her beautiful physicality, but of the glowing innocence beaming with only her presence. I was never blinded by the values I've open heartedly excepted upon her arrival, they were there, but they meant of boots in the summertime.
I've grown a great deal of humility, and because of that, I see the importance in life, while at the same time, the little things that should never receive a second glance.
I have been growing through experience, I have been learning through trial and tribulation, I have been feeling the emotional stresses of life in general... but all in all, I have been happy with all lessons learned, the consequences and the way my life has turned out. I can say I've become a stronger person, because I don't consider that the truth.. In my opinion... Experience awakens the beholders eyes, brings upon alertness, in some sense... Teaches when to cement or when to crumble your wall of defense. I've become wiser.
The innocence of a child is candy to the eye and also candy to the heart! I realize I walk expecting to be attacked viciously by the cruelty of this world. I can sit and pray all day that I receive a heart of a child, and that I may turn the other cheek due to that being the only knowledge my heart knows... but I find it not so easily said then done. I am training myself to be in charity with the world and to love regardless the situation. I figure the things people do and say, are presented on a golden.. not silver.. GOLDEN platter, just so you can catch that annoying glare under the perfect lighting.
I have been through an overflowing amount of happiness equal to the immense amount of disappointment in my peck of a lifetime. I sometimes wonder why people prefer to freely hand out anger, jealousy and hatred... the things that they had to learn to build.. then love, care and adoration.. something we have been born with, that we have endless amounts of, that we so easily can share? We are wealthy in many things, maybe not worldly, but in the things that matter!
I observed a lady, so pure hearted, that she was oblivious to the negative pressures of the world. The day of my sisters sealing at the temple, I overheard a conversation between my sister and this lady. From what I remember, this ladies exact words to my sister were, "You are very wealthy, as a matter of fact, you are rich in heart to be standing here today in the the lords house." I don't know what led her to preach that remark, but it was music to my soul. My sister cried... I could tell it was truly heartfelt for her. This women spoke not to teach a lesson, she spoke through her heart and through its innocence.
I pray that I can become the person we all were once, I pray that no matter the misguided roads I stumble upon, I may always love with all my heart, that I may always care with all my energy and that I may always adore and cherish everyone around me regardless the happenings.
I want to be oblivious to all things that don't matter, and grateful to all things that do. I have no enemies, I have love for everyone.. and nothing can change that.. NO ONE!
