quiet moments

I am so blessed to share quiet moments with the kids. such a privilege that trust they extend to me in those quiet moments of anguish and contemplation 

today my daughter asked about love lace again. she missed him wanted him back
wondered if he loved her 
waa sad he never said goodbye to her
she said I never saw him come and I never saw him go. quite poignant. touching. 
we made ourselves feel better by commenting how much he loved flying. she said astutely, akka did not like staying in the room even for one day, how it must have been for love lace to be that room for months 
such empathy.  my heart breaks with her. 

yesterday my son asked about rebirth and heaven again. something he returns to over and again. yesterday it was whether all poor people did bad things in past lives. that gave us a chance to talk about our assumptions that poor people were unhappy and rich people happy. often it can be the other way . happiness is a state of mind. 
he felt it would be awful to not feel anything, which they understood from my dad as how one would be when they attend moksha. 
how little I know to answer his questions. again I told him it's his questions that matter and his seeking answers will enlighten him 

he also said the only lesening he enjoys is the ones he does himself. like from the books he reads and so on. he doesn't like being taught what others feel he needs to learn! that's astute! 

today he lashed out at me saying adults always get their way! I asked him quietly is that a fair statement t to make. he said no, it was an anger statement! brilliant! he cut right to it. 

later in the car he told me baby Kevin's natchathiram. and say it depends of he was born before 10 am or after! seriously he is an old soul in a young body ! 

another qn on his quiet qn night was where was paati aaya. was she perhaps in kavin! or any other baby born right around the time she passed on. haha these are things we don't like thinking about right. we like to think they are in heaven watching over us
