Robert Coles said: "We hope so. And if we lose that then we're in a different kind of jeopardy. I mean, then that's what it is to be lost. To be lost in such a way that you don't have any stories to think about and fall back on and that you wander around in your own self without any larger frame of reference or purpose or meaning.

If he is talking about secular people, then he is showing a narrow-minded prejudice assuming that secular people are wrapped up in self and not sharing stories, ideas and beliefs in a humanistic way. There is no reason for religious people to be so prejudiced toward the secular.

Prof. Coles' thoughts on the spiritual life of children is terrific. Children at very young ages are wise, ask wise questions. I only ask how it is that we allow children to be dismembered before they are born in abortion? Isn't this obviously a crime and a tragedy?

I found his [Dr. Coles] commentary about the insights of children quite wonderful, and I totally respect his ongoing work and the freshness and deep wisdom that is received from the "mouths of babes." Surely the words "suffer the children to come unto me" have deepening meaning, and, as children seem to intuit, there is something about suffering, that burden we all share, in this journey life that brings us forward, perhaps to question meaning in life and to find God, again, as adults, a place so often already intuited as obvious to children.

My son said to me once, at age three, that God takes a step and then we take a step. So I said, "Daniel, how do we know which step is ours and which is God's?" He responded, so wisely and so beautifully, "Mom, does it really matter?"

No it doesn't matter. Beauty is truth.

I am experiencing massive ongoing synchronicity of experiential connects via story that are beyond amazing, and I am sincere in saying I have proof in writing of the existence of God by way of ongoing story. This story is in its entirety, about love.
