I Believe

I don't believe children could or would, or even should, distinguish between what is naturally healthy or pathological and what is spiritually wealthy or anemic any more than they would distinguish between economic health and political wealth of power, energy, nutrition, fuel, strength and nurturing endurance. And I believe adults are irrationally LeftBrain dominant misled, and misleading, to divide otherwise. When I listen to my kids before I begin to share my guilts and shames and internal violence and fears and angers, occasionally they remind me we all started out as grace-filled immigrants into Earth's matriarchal sacred embrace. Although, it was easier to hear this reminder when they were still newborn.
