[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

[GMW #2904] Adios Alcohol


[GMW #2904] Adios Alcohol Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3299 ~   

Now, at my advanced age do I have any prospects of a still longer life?

Well, the following might help:

In May of 2000 I had a hernia operation which forced me for two weeks to eat little and to drink no alcohol whatsoever.  Well, I was frequently drinking beer which is very popular in Costa Rica and being a Frenchman to have often wine with meals.  After those two weeks I did not feel the slightest need for any alcoholic drink anymore and with my wife we decided to give it up completely.  On the fourth of July, having American guests to celebrate the US national holiday, we made an exception and were sick the following day.  Thus, alcohol (al kohol, Arabic the Devil) was eliminated for good from our lives.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life
Human life is a many-sided marvel.  Our little cosmic unit reaches out into every possible direction:  the past, the present, the future, the small, the infinitely large, the above and the below, the most immediate events, objects, persons, feelings and thoughts, and the entire planet and human family.  We seem to contain the nuclei of the entire universe and time.  And yet our little, intensively packed cosmos has difficulty to understand itself, the mystery of life, Creation and evolution!  Could full self-knowledge be a built-in "limitation" of the infinite, eternal reality?  Might Paradise Earth simply be to feel, to enjoy, to be happy, to let flow and not try to analyze and understand the miracle of life?

An Artist's Healing Project In Rwanda
Lily Yeh is a global artist who is fueled by a belief that art is a human right, and that artists can create a foundation for profound social change. This film documents the design, building and impact of the Rugerero Genocide Memorial, a project that brought hope and healing to the traumatized survivors of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. The monument now serves as the official memorial site for the Rubavu district in Western Rwanda. "To truly honor the dead, we have to bring beauty and to remember them in that light."

[GMW #2311] We Act Because We Love - Nature, Beautiful Earth, God's Creation, The Miracle Of Life

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1159 ~ 12 September 1997
When one lives in a tropical nature and sees the marvels of Creation and evolution in so many incredible, inimitable life forms, one wonders how human nature can be so irresponsible, so foolish, so shortsighted and consider itself to be the highpoint of Creation and evolution. We have to do a lot of progress to justify that belief. Perhaps this should be our aim in the next century.

Humans may act for a better environment because it is in their interest. But it is infinitely better to act because we love nature, we love this beautiful Earth, we love God's Creation, we love the miracle of life.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
A contemporary person's heart can and should be as vast as the world, as vast as humanity, as vast as the universe and God.
