The pin cushion of the child

See the energy surrounding your child. Sunny yellow and warm, or blue and cold. Red and angry, black and disengaging. It is the responsibility of the tending adult to support the energy of the children in their care. Sticking pins and needles in that cushion surrounding them deflates their potential, their mood, their wellness and their self love. As an eighth grader I heard/herd from an adult woman words that pierced my cushion. She did not know I had arrived for the group photo I was invited to be in, I heard her say I was not worth waiting for, I was too different. So I left, disappeared, took off running, in the loss of support. It changed my life forever. It taught me to stay away. Animals do that and get hit by cars. Nature will flee from the pins and needles of criticism and a lack of understanding, of isolation and neglect. It will reticulate like an octopus and become very small and then disappear from sight/site. Yesterday I saw a dog do that. It knew it was going to be locked back up and it ditched. It was amazing. I said I was sorry and it returned to the love I have for him. Kids are disappearing every day. Suicide, abduction, mutilation, addiction, isolation, simply for the loss of love and understanding and acceptance in their lives. Pins and needles being poked into the energy they have to protect them. Their cushion of light, sound, color and unlimited potential is being pierced. Adults are responsible for this, period. You choose for those littles you have care of. When you choose togetherness, adventure, inclusion, you add energy to the being's being. Being is all you get. Being who and how you are, is what YOU choose. Choose only that which you would have chosen for yourself at that point in your development. Money does not go with you, Kids and animals do not even know that money is a thing. Love accompanies you forever and IT GROWS. A cushion full and warm and protective is a cushion well tended too. KIDS AND CRITTERS DESERVE THAT. You deserve that too.
