The sunny moon was an expression that Conor said one day approximately 11 years ago at age 4. I recall he looked in the sky on a beautiful morning and saw the moon shining, pointing with his finger he exclaimed, "the sunny moon." I have never forgotten this moment in time when Conor was so present in the moment delighting in God's creation....the "sunny moon." Today as I listened to Kristen Tippet's podcast, she was in conversation with two amazing human beings: Contemplative and Story Telling Poet Marilyn Nelson and Poet and theologian, Pádraig Ó Tuama. At the end of the conversation with Kristen and Padraig, Marilyn read her poem The Children's Moon and it moved me to tears. It made me recall Conor's observation and exclamation of the sunny moon some 11 years ago when smiles came easier and life was pure joy. The way children see the world is beautiful, no wonder God calls us to become like the little children. #MarilynNelson, #PadraigO'Tuama, #onbeing, #kristentippett
