p(Raising) GOD-Episode 01: Ujima Simone… The Sweetest Gift

Ujima Simone was born on July 24 and gifted to me on September 15. She was the present I didn’t even know I wanted (I tried to return to sender a couple times), but no matter how much I try to get out, her sweet face and loving heart ALWAYS pulls me back in.

Even when I didn’t, GOD DID!!!

The Most High knew that I needed a healing for my soul, a deep healing that I wasn’t even aware of. I had grown so accustomed to ignoring and neglecting my inner child that, in the most magical of ways, she was sent to me to be a physical representation. Watching her learn and grow is like having an out of body experience, where I get to watch the younger version of myself try to navigate an unfree world.

In the words of Albert Camus, “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”

SHE IS A PRO, and her Freedom inspires me to be FREE from limitations, from restrictions, from ALL the Heavies. WE FLYING OVER HERE!

Here’s to UN-Learning a child as being inferior, subordinate, and less than an adult (think of the dad on Matilda), and here’s to being open to Learn from ALL of GOD’s Creations.
