Man in the Mirror?

This is what he meant when he said…   “I’m starting with the man in the mirror I’m asking him to change his ways…” “Who am I to be blind pretending not to see their need?”     The world can come to an end if you step up to help it die.     […]

Teach Your Children Well

Teach Your Children Well Their Father’s Hell will Slowly go By…. ~ Crosby Stills and Nash Childhood is supposed to herald the formative years—the time when minds are growing and values are taking root through exploring, learning and observation. The exploring is instinctive, the learning intuitive and disciplined but observation is assimilated from the ecosystem […]

  Singing the Earth’s Song: Someone Was Singing Earth’s Song Long Before it Was Fashionable to Become Her Voice   Original Article: http://voiceseducation.org/node/7894 The words “Silent Spring” conjure up an abysmal image—after the dark and cold months of winter, a pseudo spring erupts with a silent wind carrying no sound of songbirds, no chorus of frogs, […]

Joy is hardwired into our existence when we come into the world. Joy is what the world is before the corruption begins. Children are not immediately exposed […]

Neverland is a Cultural Treasure

There were no footprints because shoes were yet to be invented; there were no tire tracks, no forensic lab, […]

In that twilight space, in early morning just before waking, in a reverie of dreams, an image and a few words emerged. “Light a candle,” it said with an urgency, and tell them to all light one too. What? Whom? Who is speaking? Silence. I stumbled to the coffee pot. I always pour the water and […]
