Things Worth Considering

As the child grew older, its caretakers and teachers pointed and said, that is theirs and this is ours. The child only saw a wooden fence that separated theirs and ours, confused because it all looked the same. As time went on, the pointing now included, this is us and that is them. Again the child, confused, saw them were just like us! We all know this story, we have/are living this story, as more fences, more us and less of them, infiltrated our brain, filling with the fences implanted by the caretakers who themselves learned the same rules. Walk in a line, stay on the sidewalk, colour inside the lines, each rule disconnecting the child’s awe and curiosity from the magical relationship they had with the plants, trees and animals that nourished the child’s soul. As an adult, we struggle to reclaim the magic around us. Laughing at the many ‘you can’t’, to become I do. Ours is a journey of re-connection to the magic around us, are you ready to reclaim the magic in your life?
