Red Elk Speaks

This was an answer to a gentleman who had ordered SEVERAL Lessons / Etc.  LOST IN THE MAIL!  Never received.  (Happens TOO often).  The guy was NOT IRATE!  (I would have been!)

“Sweet and GODLY disposition.” UNBELIEVABLE!

He and his brother bought a trampoline to learn to Levitate.  THAT SERIOUS ABOUT LEARNING.

Anyway…sent a “gifting” via 2 boxes.  BOTH (empty boxes) TOSSED OUT AT THE DUMP by Sky!  NO RETURN ADDRESS!

I hope he reads this.  (“bummer”)

I’d like to keep in touch with him…somehow.  Aho?

SHOULD help ALL…IF they’ll pay attention.   re

Tip on “Childlike Mind”

First…OBSERVE 1-3 year olds.  SEE how they IMAGINE / PLAY.  So INNOCENT in their “curve” of learning.  Nearly nothing phases ‘em.  IMAGINATION GALORE!  Remember when YOU were a kid?  How a BOX becomes a Fort?  A HOUSE?  A HIDEY HOLE?  A SLED?

Or your blankets were turned into TENTS?  Stretched between Chairs?

Really LOOK AT THEM!

That was YOU when a child.  Remember?

Remember the dark room STORY Tellings?  “Ghosts” became REAL…SCARY!!!

DO YOU REMEMBER?  (Think about this)  THAT was YOU…WAYBACK THEN!

I don’t know if you’ve children…or their age.  Grandkids?  Niece or Nephew ‘small ones’   ????

If so, DON’T complain that they’re “making a mess” (clothes and toy “pick up and put away” is okay).

I’ve taken my daughter and now MY grandkids on “IMAGINATION” “Trips.”  Taught ‘em sheets and blankets In-House “tents.” Etc.  I PLAYED WITH ‘EM!

In this, I REMAINED IN TOUCH WITH MY FORMER “Me.”

You can so EASILY return to that.  Take off your shoes and socks and WALK ON THE GRASS out in the sun.  Go jump IN a rain puddle!  Puddle to puddle.

Squish your toes in Wet MUD.  FEEL THE EARTH Mother!

Teach your li’l GAL one how to make dirty / wet  / slimy MUD PIES!  A small BOX to “cook ‘em in.”  PRETEND TO EAT ‘EM!  (Smack Smack….”Ohhh this is GOOD” commenting)

Don’t just OBSERVE…JOIN!

Moms can have “Tea Parties” with their girl(s).  BEING A KID WITH THEM!

We adults are now TOO RUSHED!  DROPPING the CHILD to Buy Buy Buy…”Have Have Have”…and PAY!  PAY!  PAY!  40 hours (+) a week.  WEEK AFTER WEEK!  Buy a TV to “entertain” the kids with MESMERIZED (“Leave Me ALONE!”) mind DULLNESS!  We buy ‘em Toys that PLAY BY THEMSELVES!  Turn on and WATCH ‘em “run.”

Or get ‘em Video Games and expensive game players…to SIT ON THEIR REARS and “Get ‘em OUTTA YOUR hair”…WE ARE KILLING THE ACTIVE Childlike MIND!

They grow FAT “arsed” “Playing.”

Was a day when they RAN OFF the fat!  Bikes, pull wagons, foot scooters (we have 4), STILTS (remember THOSE?), Swimsuit running in the RAIN, Etc.

Remember?

Well:  REMEMBER AND RETURN!

We adults often spend MORE TIME with playing with our DOGS than we do playing WITH OUR KIDS!

We let TECHNOLOGY do OUR Work now!

In this WE    LOSE!

Lose US…lose OUR CHILDREN!

MACHINES take over what WE used to do / have: the IMAGINATION!

And we wonder where we “went wrong”………………………

THEN get on your Trampoline………………….

Aho?

OK, REMEMBER NOT TO PRETEND you are “flying”…instead, ENJOY “flying!”

WHEN YOU DO, YOU WILL STAY UP!

It will only be FOR A MOMENT!  (The “shock” of staying up will drop you)  BUT YOU, and any WATCHING, will KNOW YOU DID!

SEEABLE!

#2 is FAR HARDER!  ‘Cause Now YOU are trying.  ADULT takes over!

The old “I” gets in the way.

“I” DID IT ONCE…”I” CAN DO IT AGAIN.  “I” KILLS THE CHILD WITHIN!

Frustration Now “sets in.”

GO “BACK” and have FUN!  “Screw” the “I”!  RETURN TO THE “BALL”…OF PLAY!  Aho?  re

(Thank you So MUCH for the cigs.  Had only 5 LEFT…and no $$ for more)
