Learning from life . . . A mother reflects

Microboards are one way of learning to find different, better ways forward. There are many others.  This isn’t the right way, or the only way for everyone.  But it is for us and it just might be for you.

Our growing belief is ...
     When we allow Eli enough space,
          and enough trust,
              it is actually he himself,
                    who attracts great people and opportunities into his life.

     As time goes by, we realise that the skill he requires of us as parents
          is not one of endless doing
              but rather of letting go
                    and letting be.

     It is the gift of a gentle generosity which trusts in his wisdom,
          in the innate goodness of others and
               in the ability of life to just flow in the right direction.

To say that this is hard to do when you are the parent of a child
with a disability is the understatement of the century.

Microboards have been a significant part of this journey, and since starting with the Vela Microboards Australia project we often can be found pinching ourselves to check that this life we have now isn’t some kind of wild and magical dream.
