So, I was checking out one of my favorite environmental homeschooling groups today and came across these quotes. I pondered them and was truly moved by the honesty of them both. I hope they move you too.....really, can't we all use more love? And aren't we all feeling too rushed? Let us slow down today and really just work from our hearts...let love motivate our parenting today.
The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your actions will be. -Katherine Mansfield
I am struck by the fact that the more slowly trees grow at first, the sounder they are at the core, and I think that the same is true of human beings. We do not wish to see children precocious, making great strides in their early years like sprouts, producing soft and perishable timber, but better if they expand slowly at first, as if contending with difficulties, and so are solidified and perfected. Such trees continue to expand with nearly equal rapidity to an extreme old age…Henry David Thoreau
