The Child

 A child is often curious about new things.  A child is less demanding when it comes upon something new or puzzling.  Curiosity keeps the child engaged without demanding that something be labeled or identified.  A child realizes that it is a newcomer to what it does not know.  It examines, waits, maybe asks questions.  On my good days, I am child-like with God.  Each day is new for me.  Yesterday is over.  Meditation keeps me open to the now, the new, the unexpected.
