What is your first memory?

Posted on Jan 28th, 2008 by Cova : awakening Cova
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 28, 2008:

My first memory is very odd.  I was laying in my crib and I was very aware of the textures and the colors and the sounds all around me.  The door opened and a few of my mother's friends came in to see me.  And then a woman behind them came in that wasn't my mother.  She moved closer to the crib and looked down into my eyes and I knew that this person was me, fully grown.  We just stared at each other.  She picked me up so carefully and held me like I was the greatest treasure.  I have never felt love for myself more than that moment.  I could feel the love in my infant body as well as my adult body.  I looked into my adult eyes and I saw into the infant eyes.  Everything and everybody else in the room had stopped like time was frozen, the air had gotten heavier, everything became very quiet.  I was putting myself back in the crib and leaning down gazing at myself with such gentleness and love then the adult left me. 

Over the years I have taken on a few of the characteristics of the adult I saw.  There is no way it was my mother and I am not even sure it was a reality.  It could have been a dream.  It could have been an angel who knows.  But it was amazing.  I was maybe only a year old in the crib and I don't have any more memories of anything until I turned three.  Very odd.

Hi Cova!
Wow, thanks for sharing that. I'm sure it was real whatever happened and I think it's the feeling it created that is important. Maybe it seemed that time stopped because it doesn't really exist anyway and the infant Cova and the adult Cova both exist in the eternal.
When I remember things, I mean really remember them, it doesn't feel like a memory, it feels like I am experiencing it for the first time.

Cova, what a gift the Universe gave you!  No wonder you have so much love to pour out into the world.  We're all the more blessed by it.  Thanks for sharing.
