The Little Sage

Yesterday morning as I drove my six-year-old to school he asked me to sing the "Old Lady Swallowing a Fly" song. If you don't know the song your life is incomplete. In the song she progressively eats something larger to catch the one before. After each is swallowed you sing the whole list. At the end of the song it ends with her dying after eating a horse. Kynan and I have a game we play where we add to the song and keep getting bigger and bigger things. Yesterday we had added: a dump truck, the earth, the galaxy, and the sun, when I declared, "Nothing's bigger than the sun." "Nyah-uh," Kynan responded,"Two things are bigger." When I asked what was bigger he told me the universe and God were bigger. So I asked ,"God is bigger than the whole universe?" "Yes, 'cause God told me he is everywhere," he continued. "Is God in my coffee?" I asked. "No" was his reply. "He is in you and everybody and we control the God Part inside of us." So obviously God is within each of us . . . but not in coffee.
"We control the God Part inside us" ~Kynan Davis

Must be pretty incredible to spend time with such an amazing little person with such profound big insights !! Pretty incredible that he gets to spend time with such an amazing big person with profound bigger insights !!!
I don't know why she swallowed the fly, but I know why Kynan is so brilliant - Connected, just like his daddy!
How cool is it that he has someone to recognize just how connected he is.
