What Do We Need In Life?

What do we need in life? You know I’ve been thinking about not directly that question, so much as perhaps other people. I have so many questions for those who are adults and continue to put their hands down the side of the seat and dig for as much dirt as they possibly can. They seem to be unable to function unless they can find some kind of dirt on themselves or somebody in their family – ” somebody’s to blame for something” I’m quite sure there are lots of labels and judgments flying around and I want to just say stop!! just stop! I want you to instead remember what it’s like to pick up a piece of construction paper, a bottle of glue, and a pair of children’s scissors and what it was like to draw the heart and then take your scissors to cut the heart following your tracing lines and then paste it to another piece of construction paper where you were building a picture. Recall what “that” process felt like – what that smell was like, the construction paper, glue, and crayons – that peacefulness that calm derived from the therapy of art and creation. Recall, what did it feel like when you picked a daisy or buttercup, and what about the Sunshine? What was it like smelling a batch of cookies or a cake being baked the first time you smelled it? And what was it like feeling your feet in the grass or the soil or on the Sands of the beach – with the warmth of the sun hitting your shoulders and your face? And what did it feel like the first time you had a friend and you looked at each other and you smiled – Or when you opened your favorite coloring book or workbook and colored every picture that you wanted? I think that if we spent our time taking some time focusing on those kinds of memories and in time building upon them for our present – from our childhood and stop digging so hard for so much dirt and start digging hard for so much happiness, or even happy moments because they are going to be so much happier – I know I will be so much happier. I want everyone to be happy, I want everyone to feel safe, and I want everyone to be able to stick their hand down the side of that seat and pull out a handful of Sunshine from somewhere.
