TIME

Most mornings Ki and I spend together, greeting the new day, talking and learning together. We may read a chapter from Abe Lincoln’s biography or clean the aquarium or do a mudra and sing a song. On this particular morning, Kiah was waiting for Carrie, one of his teachers, to arrive at 10:30 a.m. Needing to ask me about a flyer for Dr. Laurel Clark’s new book Karmic Healing, it was Paul Blosser who came upstairs.

Paul had been away, and when Ki saw him he decided he wanted to be with him. Hezekiah was five at the time, and when he had his head set on something you could reason with him, but when his heart was set reason would not sway him. His heart was set on being with Paul.

Ki was generous about it. He said, “I can play with Paul and Carrie!” His bright smile reflected his pleasure in figuring this out.

Paul said, “Can we play a little later?”

Living in the eternal now, Ki said adamantly, “No, now!”

Many thoughts flooded through my mind–calming Ki, wanting him to be interested in what others do thus grow compassion, the need to respond so Paul would be more at ease, also the desire to resolve the reaction before Carrie came. First, I said, “Carrie is probably on her way right now. She’s planning to play with you. Paul told you he will play later.”

Ki wasn’t budging. “Hezekiah, Paul came up to show mommy something.”

He could stretch to realize the truth of this. “Okay,” he replied in that Indigo royal tone. “Half an hour.” I had to smile because this was a new development. The idea of physical time was relatively new to Hezekiah. I had been very conscious about how I thought about time and how I taught it to Ki. I had learned early that he only respected the present. For him there was no yesterday or tomorrow, only now. I relished the reality of that consciousness, refining my own ability to experience its depth with each experience we shared.
