“There is always in the healthy mind an obscure prompting that religion teaches us rather to dig than to climb; that if we could once understand the common clay of earth we should understand everything. Similarly, we have the sentiment that if we could destroy custom at a blow and see the stars as a child sees them, we should need no other apocalypse. This is the great truth which has always lain at the back of baby-worship, and which will support it to the end.” IfsNeedsShouldMindChildrenEndsEarthStarsCommonTeachSupportBabyHealthyWorshipBlowClimbsCustomsSentimentsObscureApocalypseClayHealthy Mind Author:Gilbert K.

“I'm thinking of writing a children's story about a leaf on a tree who arrogantly insists he's a self-made, independent leaf. Then one day a fierce wind blows him off his branch and to the ground below. As his life slowly ebbs away, he looks up at the magnificent old tree that had been his home and realizes that he had never been on his own. His entire life he had been part of something bigger and more beautiful than anything he could have imagined. In a blinding flash, he awakens from the delusion of self. Then an arrogant, self-centered kid rakes him up and bags him.” ThinkingWritingLooksChildrenMadeSelfStoriesHomeKidsBeautifulRealizingTreeWindOne DayBiggerIndependentBlowBranchesLook UpBagsDelusionArrogantFierceFlashMagnificentLeafsSelf CenteredSelf MadeRakesOld Trees Author:Chuck Lorre
“17,000 children starve on this planet every single day. That fact alone should blow any conscious person out of their chair. You know, my mother used to say that a woman’s most important job is taking care of her children and her home. I laughed at that when I was younger, but I don’t laugh at it anymore. I just realize now that every child on the planet is one of our children, and the earth itself is our home.” KnowsShouldChildrenPersonsImportantFactsHomeCareEarthJobsUsedMotherRealizingLaughingPlanetsConsciousOur ChildrenBlowChairsLaughedImportant Jobs Author:Marianne Williamson
