The Dance Of Creation:
A young boy decided to go on an adventure in the field just outside his house.
Upon leaving his mother wanted to know where he was going and the little boy said, “I’m going on a great adventure to find a great secret of the universe.”
His mother replied, “oh my little explorer, well make sure you keep the house in sight so I can keep track of your journey too.”
The young boy smiled at his mother and grabbed his ball hat and ran out the door through the yard and into the field.
He looked back and saw his mom watching from the window and waved as one would, that would not be home for awhile, such is the imagination of a child that can travel across the world and never leave the yard.
The young boy saw a stone on the ground and turned it over and saw a worm underneath and asked, “Dear worm do you have secret?”
The worm squirmed around on the ground and the little boy mimicked the worm with excitement for he thought to himself of learning a great dance in a distant land.
Carefully returning the rock the boy continued on his little trek to a tree, where he saw a little bird hopping around the branches, and the little boy began hopping around like the bird and making little chirp sounds.
Again he looked to the ground and there he saw a grasshopper taking great jumps from one spot to another, and the little boy saw this and began taking leaps as high and far as he could in stride with the grasshopper.
Then all of a sudden he heard his mom singing and looked up and saw his mom hanging clothes out on the line and he waved again.
His mom seeing him waving, waved back and said to him to come back in for lunch, and the boy quickly stopped his journey and return backed to his mom.
Together they sat at the table enjoying a bowl of soup and the boy’s mother asked, “Well did you find a great secret of the universe?”
The boy excitedly said, “yes mom I did! The world is like you mommy, it sings all the time and everything dances to that song.”
The mother feeling so humbled with her little boy’s loving words, asked, “Why does everything dance?”
The little boy said, “because mom, the universe sings and we know we are never lost and we are always safe, that is why we always dance together.”
“You see the secret of the universe is, it sings and everything dances to it.”
Such is the wonder of life that can be savored in the innocence noticing little things.
All My Love
