Spent quality time with grandson Sidney yesterday. Sidney is ten but because of a developmental disability his development is that of a two year old. All the same, he is the best thing in my world. He is so full of love and joy I thank God for him everyday.
Yesterday we went walking on some hiking trails overlooking a lake. We sat in a Eucalyptus grove and just listened to the silence. I watched Sidney, wide eyed with wonder as he surveyed the serenity around him. He just sat, looked and listened. He wasn't bored or restless. He barley moved accept to lean over to give me a hug, which something he does with relish. What a contemplative soul he is. How peaceful our time together was.
I have always said that we have something to learn from everybody, even a developmentally disabled child. Yesterday I was taught about the universal joys of the creators gifts. I learned how the trees and birds and all the life on earth touches the very soul of all who love. To love nature is to love life. To love life is to love God. Thank you Sidney for sharing in the Creators love with me.
