[GMW #2929] Let Each Child Know They Are A Unique Miracle Never To Be Repeated Again


[GMW #2929] Let Each Child Know They Are A Unique Miracle Never To Be Repeated Again

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3323 ~
"Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again... And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France.

When will we also teach them what they are?

We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move.

You may become a Shakespeare, a Michaelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel?


You must work - we must all work - to make the world worthy of its children."
~ Pablo Casals

Casals held such language wherever he went. He cried each time he came to the United Nations which he considered to be a great human miracle.

In the schools which bear my name the children are told from the first day that each of them is a miracle never to be repeated again. This is why they never fight in these schools, because a miracle does not hurt another miracle.

I cannot thank God enough for His miraculous gift of my eyes through which the minuscule creature I am can see the stars, the heavens and our beautiful Mother Earth! How lucky we are!

WORD FOR THE DAY
An act of love that fails is just as much a part of the divine life
as an act of love that succeeds,
for love is measured by its own fullness, not by its reception.
Harold Loukes
