One day I woke up and saw a very fresh, pinkish face; free of any marks, blemishes or dark circles around the eyes staring at me from my mirror.
This face has become younger over the years, I thought and smiled at the reflection. She smiled back and I saw the innocence in the eyes after the longest time, just then.
Previously, these eyes have reflected being somewhat sharp, as if remaining alert to some kind of danger or doom 'about to happen'. It was like a state of being prepared for anything. Most likely news that would suggest disaster or trouble from those external to herself.
Over the years she understood that that look in her eyes had been a result of her own creations, and it belonged to her own thought processes. What she thought she created very effectively.
Slowly, she tamed those thoughts and then she noticed the things and situations around her had become more loving, gentle and supportive. She started to look around with some amount of expectation of finding something enjoyable to see, yet some sense of 'too much of a good thing' kept haunting her.
Finally, she was able to let go of the uncertainty completely. She became free of all self doubt, self criticism, self hatred, self undoing and so much more. Then after many days of doing this, she woke up one morning and noticed the purity and innocence in her eyes and she understood what was meant by being a 'child of God'.
She became this whole and complete person when she let go of all attachments and fears, and allowed her 'child-like-ness' to seep into her Being.
This is how we are born. Child-like. What happens then - we all know that from our experiences already, don't we?
So, to make sense of who we are (children of God), it takes a whole lifetime to learn to 'BE' what we were when we were birthed - and for that we have to re-birth ourselves on our own.
We must create ourselves anew.
The YOU which you see in the mirror, do look into the eyes and find out if this is the one birthed by your mother or re-birthed by you? Most likely, if you are on your highest and best soul path, you will figure you had to go through the labour pains on your own to birth the true you (your child-like-ness).
This is one occasion when men can experience labour pains too!
