In chapter eight of Growing up to be a child, I explore this deepest aspect of our humanity as a growing awareness of ourselves, of other people, of the world we live in, and of God. In each of these areas, I suggest that the call to ‘become like a little child’ is a call to a redeemed awareness:
- Of ourselves as beloved children;
- Of our relationship to others;
- Of the wonder and beauty of the world in which we live;
- And of our heavenly father as a God who loves each one of us unconditionally
In the contemplative companion, we use music and scripture to help still ourselves and encounter the beauty and mystery of our Creator.
