When In Doubt Spend Some Time With A Child.

Whatever you do do it with love. There are times when our world feels like tumbling down and we with it. I find solitude in the presence of children, they have the power to quiet the voices in our heads. While observing a group of 3rd grades during an art activity it became clear that children at a younger age have the clarity of thought and emotion. They are not afraid yet some are limited by the external forces in which they were born into. It gives me great joy to see a smile, a grin, a look of proudness and confidence when they feel safe, when they believe they can. We think our children are blind and dumb to these external forces, we disregard their inteligence and break their spirit with our own fears. It is a matter of time, time we don't have to spend with them, time we don't make in order to better understand them, time we waist when we ignore them. Children at a young age can tell whether you are sincere about whatever you are saying and will respond accordingly, they only ask for the truth, for encouragement, for love, for attention. We can build and we can teardown a child' spirit. As adults we are responsible for nurishing the spirit of our children. Love, respect, happiness that is all they ask. Next time you feel in doubt about what to do with your life, look to a child and embrace your reflection. peace. solange
