As early as just three
years old, Olivia put her little hands on my stomach when I mentioned to her
that I was in pain. She never used the word “healing”, but placed her hands
with confidence where my pain was. There were no words!
As a nearly nine-year-old
girl, she still knows about the ability that she has in her hands. Olivia is praying daily for our dog Sven who
often has seizures. In my busy world,
passing her at “mommy speed,” I tell her that it is super-sweet of her to think
of him.
Frankly, I look at
Olivia with a mixture of curiosity and admiration.
"Mom, would you
like me to teach you how to pray?" she asks me.
I ask her if I should
put my hands together and close my eyes.
"No you do not
close your eyes but look up to heaven and speak with a clear voice what you
want. Do not be afraid, mom, because then the wish will not be fulfilled."
I look enquiringly at
her. "Olivia, do you know who God
is?"
"Yes, it is He
who listens when we listen?" she replies
"Do you mean God
listens when we are talking?" I ask.
She shakes her head in
a “no”. "You also communicate when
you are listening"
I do not understand
what she means, but during my morning meditation, I realize the truth of what
she has said. When I am quiet and listen
I think and I send simultaneously. Intuitive words get to be both answers and
questions flowing simultaneously.
"Do you know what
the darkness is?" I ask her gently one day when we walk together in the
woods.
"Yes, it is The dark
God! But Mom, do not be afraid, because he will like you then. Think happy thoughts and you will have the
bright God in you!"
I stare at Olivia and
almost trip over the tree roots in front of me as I walk. I have never heard those words from someone
before.
It felt amazing to
hear these incredibly wise words come from my Olivia.
Proudly, I look up to
the sky as Olivia has taught me to do.
My
lips move silently. "Thank you
Bright God for my Olivia." I
whisper.
That's Amore!
