As Winnie and Charlie came closer to the old hunting cabin they saw that it had grown up and the door was ajar, windows were broken and it looked like there was something or someone moving in the house. The girls felt a little twinge of fear as they carefully walked on the porch. They reached for the door to open it the rest of the way and heard someone say “What is your business here?” The girls then started to shake and ran off the porch. They stopped running when they got to the road and turned and looked at the old place.

Told through a childrens story, this simple, yet beautiful tale of a silverback gorilla and a little girl gives us an insight into how we isolate ourselves from one another. It not only highlights the innate spiritual connection of children, but also demonstrates how we can lose this as adults through judgment and social conditioning. The story ends with a powerful message of how gratitude and acceptance can bring us back together. This tale offers a wonderful spiritual journey for you to take with your child.
