"The Natural Spirituality of Childhood"
(The Oldest and Newest of All Religions)

To answer the Earth's cry for help, a new mind is surfacing inside of us. Trying to fit that new mind and its model of thinking, into any existing language, into the scheme and pattern of any existing architectural and conceptual framework, is like trying to fit a round story into a square universe. It is like trying to hold an ocean in a spoon.

Love inhabits no one's paradigm, no one's story, but only its own. How can we answer the great question before us in the old language, when its answer to the question is in the spirituality of a new language, a bigger idea of what language really is?

The only container big enough to hold the question and answer both, is the moment...the country of our soul. The moment.....like the pupil of an eye....so small to count a multitude of stars....is big enough.

The child inhabits the moment. The soul also inhabits the moment. The trees too. All of Nature inhabits the moment. And God.

God is the identity of the moment.

The natural spirituality of childhood soars beyond the reach and grasp of conceptual religions. Its holy book cannot be opened because it cannot be closed. Its holy place cannot be entered because it cannot be left. Its holy day cannot begin because it cannot end.
