"You'd be surprised how often you doubt your own sanity
when you don't understand your own capacities."
K.M. Mac Aulay
To have conversations with young ones can be an extraordinary experience. They might mention a connection with you from a different life or could comment upon an angel standing behind you. There are other children who seem to know exactly what you are thinking and might zero in on a part of you that is ailing. Too soon, these children are judged and silenced and probably question his or her own sanity. Unfortunately, some of these gifts are silenced by the desire of the child to just blend in.
There was a mechanic who owned a business on Peoria Road. The garage was a constant hub as curiosity brought people in to have the family car worked on in hopes the insightful mechanic would share his unique knowledge. The mindful mechanic stated that he had awareness of people's illness ever since he was a child, but family threatened him to be silent. As a successful adult, he felt free to share what he would physically see within a person's aura.
A gift or skill might originally be confusing and trigger doubt in our self, especially if it is not affirmed by others. We may feel shamed or embarrassed by skills that were meant to be shared. Those with potential to be poets, artists, or musicians excelling in early stages of life have been deliberately discouraged. Let us stop telling others what they need to be and begin to support what the gifts and talents they bring into our world.
