If the mother wants the father to do it her way the child gets two mothers, I think one’s enough personally. ‘ Men and women are supposed to be different’….‘clearly recognizing and respecting these differences dramatically reduces confusion…’ P10 When men ‘learn that by acting as if they are always right they may invalidate a woman’s feelings’ and woman ‘learn how they unknowingly send messages of disapproval instead Of disagreement, thus igniting a man’s defences’ p12 Men are from Mars, Woman are from Venus by John Gray Element 2002

24. ‘three year old Rowan was autistic. One day he escaped and ran into a field of horses. His father watched in horror, but saw a miracle occurred as the horses responded lovingly to Rowan – and he to them. Could Rowan’s affinity with the animals save him from his autism.  The Isaacson’s were moved to leave their home and travel to the plains of Mongolia the spiritual home of the horse and the realm of Shamanic healers.  Miraculously Rowan did find a cure. The Horse Boy. R. Isaacson.
25. In the outdoor environment young children celebrate the life force that maintains our lives and that of the natural world around us. When we the educators have the privilege of observing how, they may also in the ecstasy of love of life – make great rambling’s and chant and dance for a long time in a joyful mood, celebrating on occasions in a festive way that lasts for two or three days.(Book 5) Then we are honoured with a spiritual initiation that can bring us to share their effulgent state of being and know a potential beyond that of joyful enthusiasm – when the God we seek is found within. Only then will we be qualified to reinstate the world as the heaven we dream of finding.
26. May the long time sun, shine upon you.

All love surround you,

And the pure light within you guide your way on.

This is an old Irish blessing….

“Everyday, as you wake up,  think today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life….. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself , to expand my heart out to others.” Tenzin Gyatso, 14^thDalai Lama cited in the Tibet Relief Fund literature. www.tibetrelieffund.co.uk

28. Man getting drunk is like woman forgetting to insure the car, both can unintentionally cause serious unfair consequences to innocent others.
29. Man’s inability to speak from his own truth is like woman’s impulsive projection of emotional responses, both are doing the best they can with an inner confusion.
30. Man not remembering what he has been told, is like woman forgetting the way on a journey she has driven many times before. Sometimes we can meet the required level of performance and sometimes the knowledge and ability somehow gets separated from the desired motivation and performance.
31. A deep connection with natural phenomena was presented by Oriah –“Mountain Dreamer” the native American Indian elder in his speech ‘The invitation – May 1994’ when he askes: “It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from inside when all else falls away.  I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.”
