The Day My 4-Year-Old Issued Me a Warning

It was a cloudy day and I was walking my then 4-year-old to preschool.

As we walked, it began to drizzle. Not wanting my hair to frizz, I took the edge of the scarf wrapped around my neck and lifted it over my head to shield my curls from the rain.

Immediately, my kid said, “Oh, no, mommy—don’t do that. You should take it down. People don’t like that.”

At first, I was confused. But then I remembered the Muslim women among the staff at her school and realized that, at this young age, she already understood the reasons why some people were treated differently than others.

Children often see what we try not to see . . .

On this day 25 years ago, I was working in downtown Manhattan.

It was basically everything you’ve probably imagined.

But what I remember most was the profound compassion and deep sense of humanity that surged all around us that day.

Since then, there continue to be some who yell and scream and shake their fists to try to blame millions of people for the damage done by a relative few.

These voices promote fear consciousness and the illusion of separation.

But the wisdom of the heart is clear.

There is no separation.

My sister’s pain is also my pain.

My sister’s joy is also my joy.

September’s energy asks you to pay attention to the intelligence of your heart, which too often gets suppressed and overridden by the linear mind.

We are not linear beings.

You be-ing more closely resembles a spiral or a loop—moving in cycles.

Remembering, forgetting, and then remembering again.

Throughout all of this, the heart and mind are in a constant conversation. Both have valuable guidance to share.

But, too often, the mind is placed on a distorted pedestal while the heart is pooh-poohed.

When you honor the wisdom of the heart, you open a portal to greater wholeness.

It is the overly-dominant linear minds that try to impose false hierarchy.

But the torus field of the heart knows better.

And so do you.

Listen to your heart.
