i always see through a child's eyes, I never grew up.

I have always thought that to be able to actually talk WITH an infant would be a marvelous thing. They, having just come to this world from the spirit world would have much to tell us. To be able to ask them to tell me of that other world would be amazing. But I believe that as they mature and reach the age to be able to speak intelegently on these things, they have forgotten what they knew. I think it is planned that way.

from the mouths of babes!
 
 
during thanksgiving time at school, of course everything is about Columbus.
 
little guy said, "well, he must not have liked the food at thanksgiving, since he didnt say Thank You in a nice way"  " he was mean to the natives"............
 
oh im sure the teachers mouth dropped, sure wish i was fly on the wall that day.

okay, heres another moment with little guy........
 
there is an owl that lives on the other side of the yard, he/she is always hooting, evening time, i will hoot back, little guy shakes his head at me, "oh mommy".......
 
 
days ago, decided to walk out and see him/her, the hooting began, the owl flew away, theres little guy, "oh mommy".........
 
then he and daddy goes out, the owl flew in closer, kinda scared little guy, he came in the house and said, "mommy, you dont need to talk to the owl, he's talking to us".........
 
 
and yes, when i read Buddy's post of his grand daughter's experience, i was like wow!  

I read theres a certain Owl that at night makes a sound like a scream? was said to frighten even the men in the darkness. I can't remember which owl though?

little guy used to share that the thunder were the clouds talking........
 
today he says, the thunder is a big giant laughing and the lightning are his eyes flashing........
 
interesting........  

I was adding my thoughts to another thread about young people and modern cultural issues, when it brought to my mind a song I had posted today...watching the video seeing the sea of young faces in the crowd all taking in the atmosphere of celebration and togetherness...they all sang along with passion to the words...
 
"The time has come to make things right, You and I must fight for our rights, You and I must fight to survive"
 
Just as they entered that arena and it became 'Us and We'...so as they leave the stadium heading home, they pull out their blackberries and ipods and suddenly it's back to the world of 'I and Me'.
 
If only we could find a way to galvanise the spirit of that togetherness..moving together as one in one direction.
 
I have faith in our young people...if they are given the chance to make a difference

This is confusing. How can young people possible bridge societies when so many elders are working to bring conflict, hate, and complete disregard for human rights based on shallow things like skin color?

Actually, no....but it makes me think back to something I was thinking about some years ago....
 
Newborns cannot speak....but they are cognizant of their environment and can communicate however in a very rudimentary way. Wouldnt it be amazing if babies could speak on arrival? What would you ask them? They are newly arrived from the spirit world with memories of it still fresh in their minds....I would ask them to tell me about Tunkasila....but they cant speak....and maybe thats why! We arent allowed to know.......

Hau.
