How do I talk to my children about spirituality?

 I want to give my children something, some sense of a greater perspective than the limited view of physical reality, but I don’t want to force on them dogma or rigidity.

As a child, I had so many questions that I couldn’t really articulate at the time. There was a sense of wonder about who I was and what this experience was that mystified me at a level that I couldn’t put words to. There was some larger identity than the “body of Mark” that I couldn’t put my finger on, yet I knew was there.

I didn’t ask my parents about this because I didn’t need answers, I just needed them to hold a container for my curiosity, which they did. On some level, I knew that they didn’t have answers and I knew that the stuff I was interested in, I needed to explore myself. So a main theme of my teaching is about how to create that creative, curious space for our children and why it’s so important.
