    Spirit, thank you so much for commenting at my blog, so I could come experience your world view. As I say, "Wage Peace," you are so loving, so kind. The prose poem is lovely, and I do hope you wake up to a windowful of wonder!

    I live in Madison, WI, and we just had a lovely snowfall outside my window. I wish you peace and serenity during the oft-times madness of the holiday season... Amy

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

  Instilling a love for the natural world in children and encouraging their own natural curiosity about the world in which we live. “The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.” Maria Montessori  I am a teacher at a Montessori school. Children are encouraged to use their hands to explore by touching, feeling, and doing.  In this activity they used red and yellow paint, flowers, and pinecones. I believe that if we want adults to have a reverence, a love and respect for the natural world then we have to give them the opportunity to explore it when they are very young.  We have to teach them that “nature” isn’t a separate place but that we are all connected in one natural world and that when we care for our world we care for ourselves.  ~ ~ ~ Nature notes Our world Tuesday   Pictorial Tuesday .  Image-in-ing   My corner of the world .  Community Global .  Wordless Wednesday

The rhythm of a simple home

  Pink poinsettia! I am old enough to remember when poinsettias only came in red. And then I began to see white flowers..and then some of them came sprinkled with glitter (not a fan). The glitter is what made me turn my back on the poinsettia and turn toward Christmas cactus instead. Even when they began to introduce all sorts of shades of red or red leaves that were splashed with white I was not enticed.  But last year I discovered pink! And just like that I was in love! ~ ~ ~ The hearth and soul All about home    Celebrate your story    Inspire me Monday    Little cottage link party Saying yes to the hodgepodge    Charming homes and gardens    Grace at home You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
