It's not enough

It is not enough to just bring life into the world.

Creating life means taking responsibility for it.  If you can't do that, you're in the wrong job.

A dandelion blows in the wind, sending its little ones out willy nilly to grow or die as luck would have it.

I love dandelions, but I love people more.

I want to see little people come into a world that feeds them, cares quietly for them, teaches them to move through the world in love and peace.

Dandelions blow in the wind.  Children are moved by their breath, but both are born to leave their parents and need the skills to survive.  Who would deny them that?

People do.  Allowing television, or random others to care for children turns life into a crap shoot.  The lucky ones make it -- sorta. 

They deserve so much more.

Every minute spent with a child from the day he opens his eyes for the first time, is an opportunity to tune him to a world that requires him to be discriminating.  Loving books and ideas and learning is as important as learning to eat solid food.

It's not enough to feed just his body.
