Anything is Possible

Description

A small girl sits in clouds made of color, and the world around her hasn’t yet been sorted into what’s familiar and what isn’t. This is Stage Four, the Innocent Child, the Metal Element in its lightest form flying free on a magic carpet, seeing life with eyes that haven’t yet decided what anything means. Most of us live with blinders on, old patterns, old filters, the accumulated habit of seeing the same things the same way until nothing tastes new anymore. Stage Four lifts the blinders. The Qi begins circulating differently, clearing the brain of its old contamination, and the world becomes fresh again, the way the very first blueberry tastes like a revelation before the hundredth one becomes just a blueberry. This isn’t naivety. It’s wonder, real delight even in the ordinary, the shoulds of adulthood finally lightening enough that you might try the unfamiliar road, the vegetable you swore you hated, the thing you weren’t supposed to like. Jaye painted that exact freedom, the girl who hasn’t decided yet what’s possible and what isn’t, still open to absolutely everything.

The Contemplation: Sit with the piece and notice one small thing today as if you were tasting it for the very first time. Let yourself be curious about something you thought you already knew.
