Introduction
Spirituality begins as a reaching – from deep within ourselves toward something greater, something transcendent. For some, it is found in faith or service; for others, in awe before nature’s mystery or in the quiet rhythm of daily life. It shapes how we ask – and live – the timeless questions: Who am I? Why am I here?
As we nurture our own spiritual lives, we often seek to pass that light to the next generation. Yet it is children who so often illuminate the way. No one embodies the sacredness of the present moment quite like a child. In their laughter, wonder, and play, they reveal what it means to live fully awake. As Tobin Hart writes in The Secret Spiritual World of Children (2003), “Play, joy, laughter, ecstasy, beauty, dance, and celebration of all sorts tease open the heart.”
Children do not need to be taught how to be spiritual; they already are. Our task is to honour and draw forth what is innate – to give them space, time, and trust to explore the sacred within. Hart notes, “A child’s openness and directness of perception allows for this intimate and intuitive awareness of the world; the child seems to dwell nearer the light.”
Spirituality, then, is not a destination but a shared journey – one in which children remind us how to live close to the mystery, to dwell in wonder, and to see again with the eyes of the heart.
