The Healing Toddler

--by irongrace, posted Jan 5, 2009

A month ago, I stepped through the revolving door into my physician's office, feeling both afraid of being there because of what I could find out about my health, but also knowing that I would feel afraid if I didn't come there precisely to find out. So, I felt stuck. As I scurried over to a wooden chair with a plush cushion and a Home & Garden magazine lying on top of it, I noticed there were many other patients who were carefully seated on the chairs surrounding me with frightened faces buried in magazines.

Amidst, these nervous readers, I spotted a little two-year old girl who was propped up on one of these seats with her short little legs sticking horizontally out into the air. Just a moment after I sat down, I heard this little doll-like child's voice as she suddenly and fearlessly, began to sing. She was making up her own song. It was something about Santa Claus. Everyone was listening but I don't think she even was aware of how all of us slowly starting showing ourselves from behind our respective magazines, to see who this singing angel was.

After she finished her moment of caroling, we all applauded her. Right away, though, she instructed all of us to stop clapping so she could sing more, as if she knew that these unpredictable tunes she created were soothing to our hearts. All of us adults in the room, exchanged smiles and chuckles, and as we became silent again, our new celebrity patient began to sing again.

Thanks to this dear little girl, a calmness permeated the entire room and settled all of our respective nerves.
