“Waiting is a large part of living. Great, passive, negative chunks of our time are consumed by waiting, from birth to death. Waiting is a special kind of activity - if activity is the right word for it - because we are held in enforced suspension between people and places, removed from the normal rhythms of our days and lives.” PeopleIfsKindWaitingSpecialBirthActivityNormalNegativeRhythmOur TimePassiveConsumedChunksRight WordsSuspension Book:ARCHITECTURE, ANYONE?

“Ancient traditions have long associated holy wells and springs as very special places of the Goddess or anima mundi: symbolic of the Great Mother and associated with birth, the feminine principle, the universal womb, the prima materia, the waters of fertility and refreshment and the fountain of life. The dreaming sites, as they are called, have also been associated with visions, healing, and other paranormal experiences. In ancient Greece, for example, there were more than three-hundred medical centers placed at water sources, where patients experienced healing.” LifeWellsLongDreamMotherThreeWaterHealingVisionPrinciplesSpecialExampleSourceBirthHolySpringHundredRainTraditionRiversUniversalPatientAncientMedicalParanormalFeminineGoddessSiteFountainWombGreeceSymbolicSpecial PlacesFertilityAncient GreeceRefreshmentsGreat Mother Author:Christopher McDowell

“The siblings of special needs children are quite special. Absolutely accepting and totally loving, from birth, someone who is different mentally, and has a different way of seeing the world, is a wonderful trait.

“We must be educated in inner human modesty, so we can recognize that we are not, even for a moment, complete as human beings. Instead, we continue to develop from birth until death. We must recognize that every day of life has a special value, that it is not without purpose that we must learn to live through our thirties right after we have just gone through our twenties. We need to learn that each new day and each new year offers continual revelation.” NeedsYearsHumansMomentsPurposeValuesHuman BeingsGoneSpecialBirthOffersTwentiesEducatedRevelationsNew YearModestyNew DayEach New Day Book:Education as a Force for Social Change Source: Education as a Force for Social Change
