children broken parent
In some sense every parent does love their children. But some parents are too broken to love them well& others are barely able to love them at all..
children greed would-be
The world in many ways would be a much calmer and gentler place if women ruled. There would have been fewer children sacrificed to the gods of greed and power.
children passion choices
Why do children love to hide and seek? Ask any person who has a passion to explore and discover and create. The choice to hide so many wonders from you is an act of love that is a gift inside the process of life.
inspirational pain children
Something in the heart of most human beings simply cannot abide pain inflicted on the innocent, especially children. Even broken men serving in the worst correctional facilities will often first take out their own rage on those who have caused suffering to children. Even in such a world of relative morality, causing harm to a child is still considered absolutely wrong. Period!
children color games
You don't play a game or color a picture with a child to show your superiority. Rather, you choose to limit yourself so as to facilitate and honor that relationship.
children blow giving
Our earth is like a child who has grown up without parents, having no one to guide her... Some have attempted to help her but most have simply tried to use her. Humans, who have been given the task to lovingly steer the world, instead plunder her with no consideration, other than their immediate needs. And they give little thought for their own children who will inherit their lack of love. So they use her and abuse her with little consideration and then when she shudders of blows her breath. They are offended and raise their fist at God.
children desire purpose
It is my desire and intent to trust the multi-layered good purposes of God than in what humans fabricate out of their need and experience. I specifically ask not to know these purposes so that I might remain a child in their unfolding.
children healing healed-you
The soul is healed by being with children. --Fyodor Dostoyevsky
powerful lying safe
Lies are a little fortress; inside them you can feel safe & powerful.
believe metaphor
Because you continue to inhabit and believe your metaphors, you cannot see what is true.
self mind emotion
Emotions talked to you before you had words, so listen to them ... they are often more honest than the mind's remarkable ability to self deceive.
god trying santa
I'm trying to get far away from [picturing God as] Gandalf or Santa Claus.
thinking identity who-we-are
Disconnect your identity from what you produce, and that's a hard thing for us because we think of our significance, worth and value based on what we do instead of who we are.
love-is stronger faults
[...] love is much stronger than your fault could ever be.
