Santa and God

My God.

Because he isn't a man

Because he doesn't live in the sky

Because God really does see everything

Is part of everything

Can coincide with Santa better I think

Does that mean I agree completely with lying to children

About carrying on a charade that they deeply believe and love

And then ripping it away from them.

Most people see it as beneficial and harmless

Yet I see it as deception on a very deep level to trusting and innocent children

It's a lovely thought. But it's better left to fiction. Than passing it off as reality and then pulling the rug.  Plenty of things that are fictional are celebrated. Santa should be like that.

I like it too. The sentimentality of the season. But the look in my daughters eyes when I told her.

So she wouldn't get her heartbroken at school or accused of lying or being ignorant

She was of the age I truly thought appropriate.

Wish that I could have given her more years

Wish that it were true and I could give her a lifetime. Although. If you think about it. It is a strange concept.

An old man breaking into your house in the middle of the night?  No wonder that scares some autistic and even non-autistic children.

Don't be a tool

It's not about being a martyr or as Jesus and give the other cheek. It's just living in the moment. Going with the flow. Trying to be open. Receptive. Let the walls down. And always be filled with love. Always. 

Starts with 

A clean body

Which means

Clean air

Clean water

Clean and pure food

And within yet necessarily not of the body

Clean mind

Clean spirit/soul
