Merry Christmas

‘All children are born artists.  The problem is to remain artists as we grow up.” - Pablo Picasso

As very young children, we are naturally authentic communicators and conversationalists.  But then, somewhere down the line we are nudged away from the natural, human talent of communication, as a shift occurs in our education emphasizing 'the correct answer' and demanding careful, formal, speech requiring words discouraging connection and suppressing our true virtues from being expressed, for fear of ridicule & shame.  In 2024 and beyond, may courage be renewed integrating such child-like joy, creativity and wonder with knowledge, skills and passions forging unbreakable life-long connections leading to peace.

‘The way of a warrior is not to kill and destroy, but to foster life, to continually create.’ - Useshiba-sensei.

Peace,
