The EARTH-KIDS gallery features art and wisdoms from some of our 21st century children about Earth, life, love and JOY! And there is much we adulterated 2-leggeds can learn from them. Who helps us to be in the moment more than a child? Who better reminds us that not even sunshine has more light than a smile? Who shows us that few things in life are more healing than a heart-full hug? And who among us isn't sometimes stunned at how the simple wisdom of a child can override years of accumulated knowledge? In their naturalness, their unplotted "I am-ness," children know things -- things they often don't even know they know (they're too busy being) until we invite them to tell us. And as we really listen to them, we may come to realize that, in the words of a Native American proverb, "we do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children."
