What must it be like to be a child/teenager/young adult in this maddening world we are staring at? There is a whole generation of youth that are being altered, or altared, by the force of our own collective insanity. 

It deeply disturbs and angers me that the external symbol of our own inner innocence is at the dictate of a collective adulthood that has made such a mess of this planet. I know there are so many parents that are beside themselves with frustration, rage, and disbelief that any of this is happening all in the perverted notion of ‘protecting’ them. 

They are a casualty of a war that has been waging for a long time. A disintegrity gap more than a generational gap. If we were more attuned to our own innocence and well-being, we as adults would find that our humanity is inextricably linked to theirs. Just as we have cut ourself off from Nature, we have cut ourselves off from our Youth. 

I have not been the parent/guardian of a school-aged child for some time now as mine is finding her way in her mid-20s. Yet, I feel regardless of our parental experiences and circumstances we are all a part of that collective guardianship and leadership. We have to step up and wake up to the ways in which we as adults have both fought for and failed the upcoming leaders of this civilization. 

What kind of world we wish to live in is inherent in how we treat and lead ourselves and thus our youth. It is about connecting to the child/teenager within to sense how they would feel about living in today’s world. What would they want/need us to be and do to bring about the kind of works they would want to live in that is not rooted in the prefabricated world of media, politics, and technology? 

I would love to hear what life has been like for your children as they have navigated this past year and a half. It would be a way for me and those that read it to connect to this vulnerable and precious part of our human family. Thanks in advance for sharing whatever you feel to. I will do my best to respond to all those that share. 

Much love to all as we keep making our way back to the Love we are all born from.
