Often in life important decisions have to be made. I knew a little girl who was born with a gift of knowing. She didn’t hesitate when making decisions, and since a confidence and a knowing always preceeded her decision making, she was trusted in those matters because the gift she had was felt and accepted.
Time passed and the little girl became a beautiful woman, and the gift she possessed was forgotten by her as she struggled to make decisions in the world. Perhaps she thought making important decisions as an adult required a different approach. Perhaps she got caught up in believing that certain things like making important decisions actually require struggle. She changed and I watched her worry about what was right and what was wrong, longed for her to rediscover the gift she once had and used so easily. She was a child who so simply tapped into what her heart told her, before she became a learned adult trying to figure out all the thoughts in her head. Those thoughts that never seem to stop. Those thoughts-are they right or are they wrong? Who knows? The heart of a little girl once knew. Surely the gift is still there waiting to to be trusted and used once again.
