Sabbath and Childlikeness

We ask kids what they want to be when they grow up. Why don’t we ask each other how we plan to become more like children as we age? Maybe a better question would be: “How do you plan to be a kidult today?”

The capacity of children to live in the present moment is an invitation to us adults who have forgotten how to live our lives fully awake to the sheer miracle of existence, and instead live our lives under the burdensome weight of regrets, responsibilities, obligations, worries, busyness, and bills.
