Out of the Mouths of Babes-–Sophia and Jeannie Zandi
Out of the Mouths of Babes
As many have noted, children are appearing on earth these days who come into the world with astonishing talents and impressive wisdom. Once such child named Sophia made such amazing observations from the ages of 2-8 that her mother made a record of them and turned them into a book ("Song of the Wildchild.") Here are a few examples of her comments and questions:
How do you know who to kill in a war?
Did God make us to love each other?
(at the funeral of her great grandfather) If this is about grand dad, why are they talking so much
about Jesus?
Mama, I can't know something forever. I can only know it when I need it.
God sewed you up when you were born,
me when I was born.
We are god's art project
and he is playing wth us.
I'm thinking about a song.
It's about when all the people are dead.
The trees are dust. The playground is still the playground...
and god is playing there.
Love is something you can go into and through
not like a wall, but like air or water.
(These sayings were recorded and edited by Sophia's mother, Jeannie Zandi, herself a poet and wisdom teacher to many. To order copies, go to jeanniezandi.com)
