Holding unaware worlds close to discover as a child finds a newfound secret land. Take the noble path to touch the other go through cosmic cracks to let life expand. Minds swirl and spin in and out of control. See where bigotry and injustice lives peer deeply within seeking one's own soul. Show children how a loving person gives. Once one has seen the breadth of hidden pain if we do anything we must teach the youth. With the next tiny blip they won't complain about all the varied views on world truth. Through the history of logic and thought remember youth must be carefully taught. Notes: Reference: "worlds are hidden of which we are unaware", Albert Einstein quote Reference: The Noble Eightfold Path, Buddhist practice Reference: South Pacific song, You've Got to Be Carefully Taught", Rodgers and Hammerstein 105 words 14 lines sonnet English Sonnet

School as it was meant to be, Greg… from the days before we were told we couldn’t be a ‘he’ or a ‘she’ anymore. I’m just gonna quickly congratulate you on your win before I nip out and topple a statue. ;-)

Well expressed Greg. School, learning, acceptance of others are challenges for young minds, but enlightenment is there in shared knowledge. A lofty aim "to show how a loving person gives." Congratulations! Brian
