Oh, 'Baby'...I'm Happy!

     What is MORE beautiful or joy-filled than the smile on the face of a baby? Personally, I don't think much can compete with that. When we witness the, absolute, glee, which, emanates from an infant's beaming-face, it is a reminder as to the, true-nature we are ALL born with; well-being and contentment, being our natural-state. We come into this world, filled with the Spirit of faith, grace, gratitude, hope, and love, and, it shows upon the faces of babies, as, at this stage of our lives, we know nothing else; that is, until we 'learn' what the world is so good at teaching...negativity, hatred, bigotry, etc.. How, truly, unfortunate, this, is; for, if we continued, in our growth and development, to acknowledge the great, Source of Love and all that is good, which is, truly, who we are, there would be less opportunity for the foul-features of this, lifetime, to infiltrate our Being. ALL that is good lives within our soul; everything we require for absolute-happiness and fulfillment exists internally. It is no coincidence, that, as babies, before we communicate through words, we smile and laugh; this, being our very, first, 'language', so to speak. The BLISS, which, IS our birth-right, is roiling, right below the surface, ready to 'bubble-forth', from the time we are born. We are NOT born to be anything, BUT happy; yet, so much of how we define happiness is external. We MUST get back to KNOWING, that, our happiness is internal, and, that, 'as we seek...so, SHALL we find'. So...the next time you are Blessed to witness a smiling, laughing, little 'cherub', remember...YOU can 'Be' THAT, happy, again! Just Sayin'...
