I was just cleaning up our planet for your arrival.  It takes a bit of work sometimes, but in the end, it’s always worth it! We’ll have a snack later. Right now, I have prepared a lesson for you to review… Come, sit down now. -I’m ready to read -and I need you to listen very carefully. Well, let’s begin at the beginning?: A WORLD UNKNOWN.. There are butterflys and bees.. Places where the old tell us gentle tales, We look after the lands we roam, and still have time for supper!,.. and a spot of tea, with elders in exciting places. Time spent well, is worth the time with any friend, be them, young or wrinkled faces. Looking back, morn the dead, celebrate life, create until your heart stops beating… Remember,.. childhood stories: …the little train who could - love, yes, love… Love is: people who care, and a world, who puts an end, to bitter fires from within, sprinkled softly with the grains of truth. Gentle words,… gentle care,… gentle packages wrapped, with hand made bits of lofty hearts. Friends brought me flowers in the spring, coffee and cake, songs of tender care … and much more,.. Memories, that filled my mind with sugar plums prepared from my mothers tender hands. All the little moments -make the moon’s glow brighter than it ever glowed before. Tides of the ocean rule the tail of a whale, and jelly fish sting more than you’ve ever known. Learn more from the books of life, than you’ve ever learned before. Though you must be careful !  Speak your mind and heart as one. Ask the Question When Your Ready… What Does That Mean? What does that mean?   Take each person for who you really know they are- Ohh, gossip is a path! ,to sour feathers which do not fly. Listen, to fully understand, wars of lands, near, and, far .. Take heed, and Think!… well into the day… Let No Blood Be Shed Visual History will help you find your way,.. through the utter mess. Love the world, and work well into you days, laugh innocently and be even kinder in your heart always and forever. The World Today Belongs To All Near, and All Far Away. And So!,.. Must WE Not Forget!,.. The Circle Of Peace on Earth! Applies To Us All!!!
