This is the second part of the post by guest blogger, Angelique Adams. I am lucky enough to have Angelique as my mother and nonni to my two boys. Angelique's compassion, patience and dedication to her three grandchildren is without comparison. She is profoundly connected to them intuitively and is truly able to feel what they feel...all the frustration children feel as they live mostly powerless and misunderstood.I strive to be as good a mother as my own...
Protect your little ones from pain and suffering and demonstrate that who they are from their birth is a wonderful and joyous being encased in the light of creation. Respect and honour their way forward. Discover the things that will support their beauty and their joy and immerse yourselves into a passionate life.
Even while you gently guide and teach them, they will also teach you, share with you their wondrous knowingness of things divine and joyous. You job is to keep your mind and heart open to the possibilities they have to offer you. There never was a more gracious gift. The little ones remember from whence they came and for the most part, you have forgotten. They cannot take you there but they can show you, demonstrate to you what this place feels like. Look into their eyes, listen to their sounds and feel their love. Watch them at play and marvel as they have great adventures. But also observe their trust in you as they give themselves totally into your care. Learn the power of your own unconditional love. There is no greater gift. Honour their trust above all else. You will never have a more rewarding or important task.
Love them, unconditionally, love them! They may or may not meet your expectations but love them for who and what they are. They will grow to achieve many things and they will learn from all of their experiences but the most valuable gift you may give to a little child is to love it for what it is. This is the most powerful underpinning for the rest of its life. From this place of knowing love a little one may build a healthy life with healthy and joyful relationships. And, of course, go on to perpetuate the cycle!
