Children as Heroes
Tue June 24, 2008
Yesterday I shared time with Deepak Chopra over coffee and water. We talked about life/the world. And heroes. He's a good man.
This morning, I asked Bianca "What would you like to celebrate about yourself?" (Great question to ask those you work with and those you love). She was silent. I went to make my coffee (blessings to Colombia).
"Dad, I got it," she finally replied. "I like the fact that I don't fight." My daughter is one of the most peace-filled people I know. She loves her dog Max, pop music and pizza (once a week pls). And she just doesn't fight.
What would the world look like if each of us had a deep commitment not to fight. To cooperate at work, in our communities and at home. "Just don't fight." What a statement. Children? My heroes.
