She sat up straight in her high chair and flashed that saucy little smile, and with spaghetti noodles dangling from her toes and garlic bread butter stuck on her nose, she laughed at the 6 o'clock news, and the questions adults asked about the world. For her, the answer was already there in the spilled building blocks on the livingroom floor. The building blocks that spelled out the pre-schoolers golden rule, LOVE and KINDNESS = PEACE and HAPPINESS for all who play together. And I smile at the building blocks, and pray that I will see more of them scattered 'round the world. ********** a repost, from Oct 2001 How's this one for a smile Albert? thanks for asking 'for another one' [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (02-26-2003 08:37 PM).] |

(big hugggssssss) Oh Kacy, I too pray for this time to come when all of the world can unite in peace and accordance and we can live with innocence as every young child with their letter blocks would spell out and draw in their pictures! (sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, I know Albert will love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Thank you, Noah. Yes, we need to offer the children a chance for Peace. Yes, Karilea, and her name is Sara. As a teenager now, she still loves spaghetti, but no longer dangles it....at least not in public. |

Dunc, I still laugh at this one myself, especially because it's a true story except that Sara couldn't spell out the big words. But at age three she was spelling out Love, Mom, and Sara, dog, cat, and bird with her building blocks and refrigerator magnets. Sheesh...listen to me brag. |
