Colter's been going to temple since he was 2 or 3 and to religious school since he was 4. He loves the music and being Jewish, so it's not uncommon for him to talk about God. Tonight, we went for a late swim and shortly after Gary agreed to go get us a dozen fresh Krispy Kreme donuts (original, glazed with chocolate and sprinkles), Colter said we needed to go in because there was a dark cloud headed our way. As we were walking back to the apartment, he started telling me that the cloud was "Dark God" who was angry. After we established that there was just one God (that contained darkness, light and all shades of gray), I asked Colter what he thought made God angry.
He said, "When people chop down trees, because trees are God."
I said, "Do you mean that all of nature is part of God?"
"Yes," he said. "We're all part of God. I'm God's eye. You're his other eye."
If only I could see so clearly.
Do your kids talk about God? What do they say?
Out of the mouths of babes. That is a wonderful story. I am linking this one. Thanks for sharing.
