On the way home from school today, the Pixie decided to hit me with a barrage of questions.

Who does God look like?

Is God a boy or girl?

Where do we find God?

How do we see God?

We wound up having a wonderful discussion about what God is. We decided that S/he is found when we hug our puppies. She discovered that God could look like the homeless man at BJ's who has an empty tummy, or that God could look like her. That God is a boy and a girl, and that God is all around us. She found God in the snow, and heard God in the wind. Pixie learned that the song "God is everywhere, God is one", is real, and means that God is everyone and everything and everywhere. That God is so big and huge that we are surrounded by God all the time in the trees, and the water, and our food, and in all people and living things everywhere. That acts of love and kindness and compassion let us be part of Her/Him. That taking care of others is taking care of God too.

She said that she was happy that she could see God whenever she wanted by just looking around.

Scary, how a 5 year old can develop a pretty sophisticated idea of the divine. Maybe we all need to think like children.

...or stories she makes up with my TARDIS bank.

Overhead by me:

"Quick Rose!  Martha!  Run and get the TARDIS!  We have mermaids to save!"

She then grabs the Dalek charm from my cell phone "Exterminate!  Get the Mermaid!"

She then presses the door so it makes the dematerializing sound.  "Off we go to rescue the mermaids!"

Grabs her mermaids.

"Now lets have adventures together!"

I love her stories.
