“How can we accept a situation in which there are no longer orchestras, choruses, libraries or art classes to nourish our children? We need more support for the arts, not less -- particularly to make this rich world available to young people whose vision is choked by a stark reality. How many children, who have no other outlet in their lives for their grief, have found solace in an instrument to play or a canvas to paint on? When you take into consideration the development of the human heart, soul and imagination, don't the arts take on just as much importance as math or science?” PeopleWorldNeedsHumansHeartChildrenArtSoulPlayRealityYoungFoundImaginationGriefSituationAcceptingVisionClassSupportRichDevelopmentImportanceOur ChildrenInstrumentsPaintLibraryAvailableMathConsiderationCanvasHuman HeartOrchestraOutletsSolaceStarksChorusArt ClassStark Reality Author:Barbra Streisand

“We mourn; we sorrow for our loved ones that go - our wives, our husbands, our children, our parents; we sorrow for them; and it is well and proper that we should moum for them and shed tears for the loss, for it is our loss; but it is their gain, for it is in the march of progress, advancement and development.

“The importance of the development of the emotional body is hardly recognized today. We are pretty much left to our own devices to come to full adulthood, whether man or woman. Our elders may have become so denatured themselves from a lack of such nurturance that there is no longer a collective knowledge of how to guide the awakening emotional vitality and authenticity of our young people, our children. Mindfulness may contribute to a reawakening of this ancient wisdom in ourselves and in others.” PeopleMenMayChildrenBodyTodayYoungLeftEmotionalDevelopmentMindfulnessImportanceOur ChildrenAncientGuidesAwakeningAuthenticityCollectivesDevicesAdulthoodVitalityEldersAncient WisdomCollective Knowledge Author:Jon Kabat-Zinn
