EXCERPT
We must go back to school--not to obtain further degrees,
accolades of learning. We need to remember what it was like to
be fresh and enthusiastic in our learning. We, as an adult community,
have for the most part squashed our ability to truly learn, and
we must recover that gift if we are to point the way for our
children and grandchildren.
How do we do this? Where can we go to remember and to recapture
our gentleness of spirit and our loving manner of watching? Is
there a place within that carries that record of remembrance?
The greatest and most profound gift you can give your children
and your grandchildren is to remember. And this can be done swiftly,
providing you are willing to go empty and flush out the reams
of paperwork and lifeless bureaucracy that has invaded your temple
of being. You must be willing to live as you have never lived
and release that which can only stifle your inner child--the
creative intelligence that has come to light the world and the
schoolroom!
Raise your hand and say "yes" to your inner child.
Return to the relationship you once had with all life. Remember
the joy of discovering the magical, industrious worm squiggling
into the earth, or hiding beneath a leaf. Recall the dance of
the spirit radiating through the butterfly's wings, or the sudden,
unexplained pinpoints of light that filled the room before you
went to sleep and the wondrous peace that followed. Remember
the exciting sound of the train? No other sound was quite like
that. Remember...and be magical again.
Raise your hand and volunteer to find out what the children
know. When did you forget what they know? What caused your forgetfulness?
Can you remember?
As you step into a whole new room of consciousness where
many children stand already, be open and ready for a delightful
new experience; and trust that it will be there for you as teacher
and parent.
Go swiftly now. There is no time for pause. The children
are waiting; the child in you waits, as it has always waited,
to become one with you. Listen to the new, and to the voices
of the children. You once heard, you will hear again, if you
believe.
