A Prayer

In my work with the little spirits I often come across messages that speak to my soul....sometimes from their mouths.....sometimes from their ideas......sometimes from their books. This is a passage given to us from Eric Carle. He, like other notable thinkers (David Elkind, John Holt, Bev Bos, Margaret Mead, my father and so on) imagine a slower world for children and all other living things. This page from "Slowly, Slowly, Slowly, Said the Sloth," reminds us that slow has nothing to do with being lazy. Sometimes I forget this.
