Can we go back in time?
Isn’t it a mystery how “little ones” live in a mix between
reality and fantasy; never truly sure of what is real? They dream so intensely
that when they wake up, they bounce around in joy, trying to replay every
detail of their dream. They are convinced that, in fact, they lived through
whatever experience they had. These “little ones” are positive that the
daydream, vision, illusion or mirage actually happened. I can’t help but
wonder:
- Are these experiences real?
- Are “little ones” somehow able to actually go to these magical places?
- Do their imaginary friends really exist?
- Do angels really come and play with them?
- Can they see things we don’t?
- Who are we to say no?
After all, it has been so long since we ourselves were
“little ones” that maybe our perceptions have changed. We are so certain of
what the limits are that we do not allow room for the unexplained. Our minds
quickly disregard our experiences as a dream due to something we ate, or as
something for our psychiatrist to explain as coming – because of too much
stress.
Our awareness of the extraordinary often fades away as we get
older. Maybe because it is then that we start learning about our limits, about
what is possible and what is impossible. For the “little ones,” there are no
limits to what is possible, only undiscovered frontiers to which they are
determined to go. And it is this determination that makes all the difference.
So let’s think for a moment:
What if “little ones” have a way of entering different “dimensions”?
What if they are able to experience a multitude of worlds,
being here and there as they please?
We should not be afraid of this possibility. After all, are“little ones” fully here yet?

What I mean is that “little ones” are like heavenly
beings for whom nothing is impossible. They seem to fluctuate between heaven
and earth maybe because when we are little, we
have an easier time keeping a strong connection to the heavenly realm and to
the unknown dimensions of God’s created universe.
I deeply believe that we should not tuck away the “little
one” in us. Why do we have to stop being “little” on the inside? As we grow up,
our body changes and ages, we gain knowledge, we become wiser (hopefully!). But
the fact that our body and intellect can and will grow does not mean that we
must sacrifice the “little one” that we once were. We are all “little ones”
deep inside. The problem is that some of us hide that part of us in a deep dark
corner and suppress it. Some of us have almost forgotten how to get in touch
with that part of ourselves. But we all have been “little” before, so if we allow ourselves
to regain contact with the “little one” we once were, we will be free to fully
enjoy all the things God intends us to enjoy and to experience all that He has
in store for us.
You must be wondering what I mean by
“little.” Well, what I mean by “little” is the person, big or small, who:
· Is keeping alive that side of himself/herself that knows how to trust and
love completely…both the people in their lives and God our Father.
· Does not know ego and does not know how to fake emotions¾what you see is what you get!
· Is always willing to learn more.
· Finds joy in simple moments.
· Is not afraid to love.
· Is eternally seeking and searching for happiness.
· Is not limited by anything and is not afraid to dream.
If we give value to that side of us,
we will have much richer experiences, and we will be able to stay more easily
connected to the heavenly realm. We surely will be connected to God our Father
by always believing, hoping, enjoying, trusting and allowing ourselves to have
a perfect balance between our mind, our body, our heart and our soul a good balance between our humanity and our spirituality.
When we maintain the connection to our heavenly Father, we can enrich our lives and those of others by shining on them the graces that we receive, sharing the love and the peace that light up our lives. Let’s allow our “littleness” to surface and take over our hearts!

Wisdom to contemplate:
“Let the children come
to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child
will not enter it.” (Mark 10:14-15)
“Amen, I say to you, whoever does not
accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.” (Luke 18:17)
