Easter Eggs are not enough!

The expectations of every child

 


The expectations of every child
To be held in love, all the time
To know safety with every touch
These are the ways we need, it's not so much...

These are the gifts,that life on earth is meant to bring

The expectations of every child,
Acceptance, gentle guidance with a smile,
Honest answers to their questions of life,
Space to grow, fully assured and bright.

The expectations of every child,
To find a safe place to learn in good time
So that the child knows and trusts the heart
Then grows the child in confidence, that is the art..

The expectation of every child,
To know the family, to feel the line
Of ancient stories, and harmonies
The child is born to know that she is free.

The expectation of every child,
To be respected all the time,
To be chosen with the highest love,
So honour the child you hold, that will be enough.....

These are the gifts that life on earth is meant to bring
Do you bring the gifts? Do we bring the gifts?

You can download this song for free (all my recordings are open source, creative commons licensed) from my Reverbnation Music Page....

I wrote this song about 21 years ago, and it is the basis of all my work since that time. It was inspired by John Holt, Alice Miller, Carl Rogers and by my daughter and her mother, and by Nurturant Mothering in and of itself. 

It arose out of my own adverse childhood experience and the realisation, late in life, that that experience was entirely avoidable, and is one that I and many others have suffered needlessly. 

It also is true to say that the future of 'Civilised Humanity' lies in the extent to which we, as indivduals and as a society, are willing to act and behave and respond with Empathy towarda our children, towards all children, and with that, a degree of self-empathy, a willingness to honestly  reflect on the realities of our own childhoods is a necessary, though perhaps uncomfortable discipline.

I urge all who read my work to spread this insight. There is much work to be done, and we can have a lot fo fun doing it!

Kindest regards

Voting Rights for Bacteria

VOTING RIGHTS FOR BACTERIA 

 A NEW SONG  - THIS A ROUGH CUT...



(on my rc50 loopstation)

SOME FACTS ABOUT LIFE
THAT
YOU PROBABLY
HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD 

bacteria build everything on this Earth that is living. 

That includes you and I. 

 We are, literally speaking, bags of bacteria. 

 I am a bag of bacteria.

Bacteria metabolise 'raw' Earth materials and produce the materials that other bacteria can utilise to do what they do.

Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Amino Acids, Proteins.... etc etc

The net result of what bacteria do is to improve the habitat, Earth, for all life.

Another way of putting it is that bacteria survive in the long run by improving the habitat for all life by being themselves and doing what they naturally do.

Another way of saying this is that our core biological function, as natural beings, on this Earth, is to improve the habitat for ALL LIFE. 

 What does that mean for Society?

It means that much of what we do runs counter to the FACTS of LIFE.

And that if we wish to survive, and more importantly, thrive, in the long run, we must be our natural selves, and that we will find the ways in which we can improve the habitat for all life, for all time, by being our natural selves.

And who knows what the natural self is like?

The Natural Child.

listen to The Natural Child and no other.

Listen.

Hear.

You were that natural child.

Behind the facade of all assumed or imposed identity

YOU ARE THAT NATURAL CHILD.

Do What You Love, It's Your Gift to Universe


As far as I know I thought of this phrase myself, back in 1995, after reflecting upon the perfection of universe.

How everything in universe (that we know of) IMPROVES the habitat for all life, how everything in universe does what it does SO WELL, so precisely, maintaining dynamic equilibrium.

How we are the only species on earth who live with constant background personal and external anxiety as 'normal'.... which being the exception proves the rule : that the natural child, like any seed, is innately capable of developing his/her mastery of self so that he/she too improves the habitat for all life, in the course of her/his chosen path in life and day to day activities on this Earth.... and if innate, then it is children who must surely lead the way in their process of learning and adults who assist, sharing their experience when requested ...

A process I see leading towards a natural human community that improves the habitat for all life AND enjoys life all the more deeply, empathically connected to the very process of life itself, moment by moment. Bliss. Dynamic Bliss not the Perfect Bliss of myth and seduction.

The inspiration to abandon the tuse of the definitive article before 'universe' comes from Buckminster Fuller. He correctly pointed out that using the definitive article before universe creates two seperate entities : the speaker, and the universe. That seperation is illusion.

Being oneself, honestly, transparantly therefore completes oneself in universe and completes universe too (though universe is NEVER incomplete), and one is yet another part of the precise dynamic equilibrium that is natural life in motion.

That is, in my heart at least, the best response to meet the gift of life itself and the wonder of experiencing life through the human body and mind.

And all the more reason to simply stop those activities engaged by adults such as war, oppression, abuse of environment and the conditioning of children.
