Child Abuse Undetected...

It is no Wonder

That Happiness is the exception...

The Miracle of Life

Can't help wondering...

what you're wondering about?

.

You know what I'm wondering about...

why child abuse...ever?

.

And you can probably guess what I'm not wondering about...

I'm not wondering why happiness is the exception for all ages.

.

How can there be any happiness in a world where the most fragile, the most vulnerable, the least able to defend and protect life are so often left with nothing and no one but themselves to survive and sustain life in the presence of danger?

.

The answer is obvious to any willing to look...willing to see.

.

Each moment of every day we make choices. These choices put in motion the patterns for the future. We all become victims of unwise choices. But, unlike the vulnerable among us, who can only listen, we are not LIMITED to choices dictated by others, or by our past choices.

.

Our choices are ours.

Our choices are many.

We can choose to make changes.
We can decide to do differently.

We can do better today than we did in all our yesterdays.

.

So...choose creative actions...
Do anything positive in the presence of creative actions...
And you choose for life, love and happiness.

.

Or...

.

Choose destructive actions...

Do nothing in the presence of destructive actions...

And you choose for death, hate and destruction.

.

Simple? Yes. It is that simple.

Easy? No. Not always.

.

Still...it is your choice every time.

.

So...what will you choose today?

Gift...

or theft?

Life...

or death?

Love...

or hate?

Creation...

or destruction?

.

Thank you for choosing wisely... your life is not the only one that depends on it.

Perfect by Design...

“Listen to the Musn't's child, Listen to the Don't's. Listen to the Shouldn't's, the Impossibles, the Won't's. Listen to the Never Haves, then Listen close to me. ANYthing can happen, child, ANYthing can Be.”

—Shel Silverstein (1930-1999), poet, songwriter, musician

Can't help wondering...
What you're wondering about?
I'm wondering where the time goes...
For one thing...
Wondering why we don't seem to know earlier...
Let every moment in a child's life...
Be our priority...
They are so few and so soon gone...
Wondering when we will understand...
Each and every child...
A perfect child...
Perfect by design...
Miraculous, able...
Deserving of all we can do and give...
Ensure their survival, their preparedness...
To take their places in the Continuing Cycle of Life.
Each and every child "Beyond Beliefs,"
When we take the time to really see them...
As they are ...
Perfect by design...
Not ever something less than we are trying to make them be...

And now, here is a favorite poem for your pleasure and enlightenment:

Perfect by Design

Perfection:

The Ability to use the best of the past to create a better future.

... Consider the Butterfly

She doesn't know how rare it is,

That she flies through the air,

Nor knows that she pollinates

And gives life to so many.

Neither she knows what joy she brings

To the hearts of those who can see.

How lovingly the onlookers stare.

What protection from harm she has earned,

For her beauty that she can not see,

For her caring that comes so naturally.

How those who can see her wish,

Their lives could be so Happy,

So loved, so blind, so truly free.
