Spirit Babies

A recent conversation with Kain...

Kain: "mom do you believe in karma?"

Me: "yes I do and I also believe that children choose their parents, so thanks for picking me."

Kain: "really?"

Me: "yep many cultures believe that when babies are still spirits they choose who they want their parents to be in their next life."

Kain: "so all of us have lived many lives before?"

Me: "many people believe so."

Kain: "do you believe that?"

Me: "yes I do."

Kain: "huh, so if there is karma and past lives I wonder what I did in my last life to get you as a mom?"

Me: "are you saying that in a good way or bad (because he didn't make it sound like a good way)"

Kain: (laughs)

I guess the thing I found funny about this conversation, aside from the obvious, is that later that day I read a post of a woman comforting another who had just had a miscarriage and recommended the book, Spirit Babies. So having had two myself I decided to get the book. It arrived just days after hearing about a friend's loss which always breaks my heart to hear. I am loving the book though since not only has the metaphysical world always fascinated me but especially my children's spiritual journeys to finding me as their mother. I do not think the miracle and creation of life will ever stop amazing me!
