Trivial, as I said... Dedicated to all the children of the world. The Golden Book of Children, written by Cristina Romero and illustrated by Francisco José Marín González. The Golden Book of Children. Children are powerful. You yourself are a powerful child. And if you ever forget it, together we can remember it. Your power is immense and invisible. It is not hidden in the strength of your muscles, and it does not depend on how much you do or how far you get. You always keep it in you. You are valuable and you are unique, just as you already are. Your power is intensely activated when you are yourself, when you respect your body and your heart. Every time you walk without hearing them, you move away from your great power. That power that awakens when you obey yourself is the one that leads you to protect life, with its cycles and rhythms, wherever you are. But to be yourself you will need to be truly brave. Do not give too much value or try to please others. It is an impossible task that will keep you away from yourself. They will say that you are hard and that you do not express your feelings, but that will not make you happy. You are vulnerable and that makes you valuable. Children and men cry. This is how we release pain, tension, frustration and sadness, without leaving them trapped inside. Crying is a gift that our human nature gives us, as well as laughter is another great gift. You were born with those resources for your whole life. You may have forgotten them when you grew up surrounded by those who have lost theirs, but they are still hidden there, within each one. And they sprout when we allow our hearts to open again, as when we were children. When you feel fear, sadness or shame, just stop, listen to it and express it. I hope you have been able to grow up from a very young age listening to yourself, playing with the earth, the forests, the seas and the other animals. They will need that when you become a man, you be their ally and continue to be connected to them from your heart. And that you remember that you are part of everything that surrounds you. Nature will always live within you. Listen and respect its wisdom, which is yours. You are wild, free, powerful and deeply innocent. Love yourself without censorship. Always inhabit your powerful and incredible body without shame, no matter how much it changes and transforms you. It will do so that you can express yourself in new ways, but you will always be yourself. No one deserves to hurt you by going beyond your limits, and all beings, no matter how tiny they are, also deserve your respect. When you feel that your heart is moving away from others, about to harden, look for space and time to reconnect with yourself again, until you regain joy and confidence in life. I hope you don't become insensitive to your wounds, to the wounds of others, or to the wounds of the earth. Wounds don't need you to hide them. They need air, love and time to heal. And when you grow up, remember to flow with nature and play with life. Don't let laws or ideas make your muscles or heart too straight or rigid. Remember that children are powerful. Inside us we carry the seed of the new world, and that there is no power without love. In other words, become the ball-less wonder you were MEANT to be! Return to your "inner child, and let the WOMEN run your life! |
