Lay your head against a tree and learn what life could really be

Here's a poem my oldest son wrote when he was in 6th grade.
Tony is an Indigo through and through. He's always rejected any kind of box type thinking. He's a free thinker. He can't stand authority or rigid rules. He's a system buster and an awareness bringer. His generation is the generation holding the space for all the new energy (crystal and rainbow children) to enter our planet. Watch for huge changes to take place over the next 20 years! ~ Carol Lawrence (yes he likes to camp in the winter)

Hello all my funny friends

Come and join me in my Mercedes Bens

Look at this world of exaggerated fame

Turn into a big ball of flame

Go on ahead and live this lie

while I teach myself how to fly

I know the truth about all of this

why can't you see through the mist?

There's more to life than money and politics

We don't need technology or drug addicts

So let's just give a new meaning to life, 

And teach our children so

They can teach it to theirs.

Now lay your head against a tree and learn

what life could really be.

~Tony Lawrence~

If I had a child to raise all over again....

If I had my child to raise over again
I'd build self-esteem first and the house later
I'd finger paint more and point the finger less
I would do less correcting and more connecting
I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes
I would care to know less and know to care more
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites
I'd stop playing serious and seriously play
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars
I'd do more hugging and less tugging
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often
I would be firm less often and affirm much more
I'd model less about the love of power
And more about the power of love.

A Spiritual Conspiracy

A friend of our's Barb Cote shared this beautiful poem on Facebook and I wanted to share it with you. 

Thanks to all of you that are part of this conspiracy!

A SPIRITUAL CONSPIRACY

On the surface of the world right now there is war and violence and things seem dark, but calmly and quietly, at the same time,something else is happening underground. An inner revolution is taking placeand certain individuals are being called to a higher light. It is a silent revolution. From the inside out. From the ground up.This is a Global operation. A Spiritual Conspiracy. There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet. You won't see us on the T.V., you won't read about us in the newspaper. You won't hear about us on the radio. We don't seek any glory. We don't wear any uniform. We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles. Most of us work anonymously We are quietly working behind the scenes in every country and culture of the world. Cities big and small, mountains and valleys,in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands. You could pass by one of us on the street and not even notice. We go undercover. We remain behind the scenes. It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit, but simply that the work gets done. Occasionally we spot each other in the street. We give a quiet nod and continue on our way. During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs, but behind the false storefront at nightis where the real work takes a place. Some call us the Conscious Army. We are slowly creating a new world with the power of our minds and hearts. We follow, with passion and joy. Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence. We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking poems ~ hugs ~ music ~ photography ~ movies ~ kind words ~ smiles ~ meditation and prayer ~ dance ~ social activism ~ websites ~ blogs ~ random acts of kindness...We each express ourselves in our own unique ways with our own unique gifts and talents. Be the change you want to see in the world. That is the motto that fills our hearts. We know it is the only way real transformation takes place. We know that quietly and humbly we have the power of all the oceans combined. Our work is slow and meticulous, like the formation of mountains. It is not even visible at first glance, and yet with it entire tectonic plates shall be moved in the centuries to come. Love is the new religion of the 21st century. You don't have to be a highly educated person, or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it. It comes from the intelligence of the heart. Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings. Be the change you want to see in the world. Nobody else can do it for you. We are now recruiting. Perhaps you will join us, or already have. All are welcome. The door is open.  It's time.

Poem for the children of today by Barb Cote

MY WISH FOR YOU
I wish for you a world of peace where you look past the chaos and see hope.
Feel hope.
I wish for you to find your gifts, your purpose, and the encouragement to fulfill your dreams.
All of your dreams.
I wish for you to see the magic in life,to be open to receive the miracles.
To expect the miracles.
I wish for you to experience love in all forms, to know inner peace and heaven on earth.
