Are you familiar with Marsha Sinetar’s book: ‘Spiritual Intelligence - What We Can Learn from the Early Awakening Child’, Maryknoll, NY, 2000, ISBN 1-57075-231-1? I was just reading it when Susan discovered your message.

Marsha argues - and I agree - that what great artists, scientists and saints share is inspired thought and the passion to follow it all the way, wherever it may lead them.

Many early awakening children show the spiritual intelligence that enables them to trust and protect their inner vision in spite of severe oppression and to become great artists, scientists, political leaders or spiritual geniuses. Not to mention all the simply brave ones who may lead an inconspicuous life but never give up loving - our angels in disguise.
