"Once, on Sundays, as I read the papers,
I saw a sunbeam make its way to her,
and her hair was suddenly aflame like a fuzzy halo,
as she lay on the carpet,
her face cupped in her palms,
lost in the world of wizards -
and the sun helplessly
putting the spotlight on her,
for the universe to gaze at her,
and no one else."
 

In Pema Chadron's  exquisite and heartfull book "When Things Fall Apart" she says -
"You are the sky. Everything else – it’s just the weather."
 
This poem is about how children are natural zen individuals and how the universe recognizes them for what they are.
