"God is kind of like...you know, Jesus? You know that kind of guy? I think that God is kind of a person that's spiritually real. He thinks of every religion.  He could be the valley, the sea, the clouds, the sky, anything. He made up people and trees and flowers. He was the kind of person that made dinosaurs. Nobody knows how they got killed. It's just that he makes new things if they run out." ~ Desire, 6, Bahai, Canada

"God is a feeling. He's a feeling for everything. We don't really know what he is. Other people might believe in something different so he is all things and all religions. God was originally instinct. Instinct is an invisible force telling you what's right and wrong, like the conscience in Pinocchio. He's not just for one religion. He's good and bad, all emotions,
everything." ~ Andrew, 8, Jewish, USA

AND ONE FINAL POIGNANT EXCERPT...

A four year old boy asks his parents if he can speak to his new baby sister alone.
The sister is just two weeks old. The parents though a bit skeptical, finally agree
and listen at the door. "Can you tell me what God looks like?",
says the boy to the infant, "I'm starting to forget."

May the Beauty and Joy of God, Creator, Spirit, Goddess, Mother Gaia,
or whatever name you use, go with you ALL,
My Most Beloved Friends on this Sacred Day!
