Zeus is the ninth doll in my Inner Child series.
"When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.” John Green in "Looking For Alaska" Enigma is the eighth doll in my Inner Child series.
David Whyte is one of my favourite poets. He writes, THE HOUSE OF BELONGING I awoke this morning in the gold light turning this way and that thinking for a moment it was one day like any other. But the veil had gone from my darkened heart and I thought it must have been the quiet candlelight that filled my room, it must have been the first easy rhythm with which I breathed myself to sleep, it must have been the prayer I said speaking to the otherness of the night. And I thought this is the good day you could meet your love, this is the black day someone close to you could die. This is the day you realize how easily the thread is broken between this world and the next and I found myself sitting up in the quiet pathway of light, the tawny close grained cedar burning round me like fire and all the angels of this housely heaven ascending through the first roof of light the sun has made. This is the bright home in which I live, this is where I ask my friends to come, this is where I want to love all the things it has taken me so long to learn to love. This is the temple of my adult aloneness and I belong to that aloneness as I belong to my life. There is no house like the house of belonging. Courage is the seventh doll in my Inner Child series.
Prayer of St Theresa 'The Little Flower' May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you.... May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. Amen. Saint Theresa the Saint of the Little Ways. Meaning she believed in doing the little things in life well and with great love. Chance is the sixth doll in my Inner Child series.
The Birth of the Water Baby by Erica Jong Little egg, little nub, full complement of fingers, toes, little rose blooming in a red universe, which once wanted you less than emptiness, but now holds you fast, containing your rapid heart beat under its slower one as the earth contains the sea. O avocado pit almost ready to sprout, tiny fruit tree within sight of the sea, little swimming fish, little land lover, hold on! hold on! Here, under my heart you'll keep till its time for us to meet, & we come apart that we may come together, & you are born remembering the wavesound of my blood, the thunder of my heart, & like your mother always dreaming of the sea. Clavis is the fifth doll in my Inner Child series.
"Transformation is my favorite game and in my experience, anger and frustration are the result of you not being authentic somewhere in your life or with someone in your life. Being fake about anything creates a block inside of you. Life can’t work for you if you don’t show up as you.” Jason Mraz Chime is the fourth doll in the Inner Child series.
"So now you must choose... Are you a child who has not yet become world-weary? Or are you a philosopher who will vow never to become so? To children, the world and everything in it is new, something that gives rise to astonishment. It is not like that for adults. Most adults accept the world as a matter of course. This is precisely where philosophers are a notable exception. A philosopher never gets quite used to the world. To him or her, the world continues to seem a bit unreasonable - bewildering, even enigmatic. Philosophers and small children thus have an important faculty in common. The only thing we require to be good philosophers is the faculty of wonder…” Jostein Gaarder in 'Sophie's World' Lucy is the third doll in my 'Inner Child' series.
"You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness." Jonathan Safran Foer 'Dorothy' is the second in my 'Inner Child' series.
"Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high, There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow. Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I?" 'No-Name' is the first in my 'Inner Child' series.
"Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose happiness, negativity, pain ... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it." Kevyn Aucoin |
