Innocence. Such a beautiful word, for it comes with an awareness of no push-back, no righteousness, no judgment. Innocence comes before one learns to act in certain ways. It comes prior to human conditioning. It is your original state. One speaks of lost innocence, but if it is a state of being that is original, then it is still here within you. Scrape off the outer layers, and there you find pure being. No conditioning, no history. It is always and already here, this peaceful state. The only thing one is guilty of is forgetting this, and since you encompass all polarities, you need not condemn the self for guilt. Return to a state of innocence, forgive all acts done out of ignorance of your wholeness, and move forward clinging to neither.
You are so very loved.

As I come to the end of writing my autobiography, I am reflecting on the innocence which has kept me company all my life. I condemned it at times as naivety, but it is a quality of retained childhood which I have come to greatly appreciate in my later years. Your comments on innocence really resonated with me, thank you! As did your amazing interview with Michael Sandler. What amazing energy and creativity , and LIFE between you!
