Beloveds,
There are times that we love
our children so much that
they learn to show us little respect.
Today's music and media tools
encourage a culture of sex,
drugs and violence.
Talk to them about it.
Remind them to have compassion,
humility, respect, and loving kindness.
Nurture their gifts.
Teach them to work hard and to share.
As adults we must love children
as we set clear boundaries
and be firm about the consequences.
And even when your heart says no more,
you must find the way to forgiveness
and love within the boundaries you have set.
No matter what they have done,
today is a new day.
Love them, be firm, nurture them,
set clear boundaries and let them
know that you love and believe in them.
And so it is!

On Children---When your heart says NO More!
Melony McGant, poet, storyteller, humanist and world lover of children lives on HOPE; works to breathe in love, and exhales fear (false expectations appearing real).
She says "Perhaps our current challenges are wake-up calls for our collective awakening to truth."
And she believes that the truth is, there is no need for our constant bickering, our disdain for eachother, for wars and killing, for world hunger, massive disease, for discrimination, subjugation, or oppression.
She maintains that LOVE, even on a rainy day, is the answer to our dreams, our individual quests, and our future collective identity. "If we can learn to value our children, our elders, ourselves, and our Mother EarthHeart, then surely we have the power to impact society and to create a world filled with JOY."
