Can the Rediscovering of the Child’s Heart Bring Long Term Health and the Willingness to Care for the Environment?

Abstract

As we search to find methods to bring peace and tranquility to our most crazy and chaotic world, let’s do not forget to rediscover our child’s heart to bring us long term health and a commitment to protect our mother earth forever. Several of my elders from six different tribes over the past forty-seven years taught that the longest journey of our adult life Is from the mind to the child’s heart and the trip is shorter for the child. As we go through life, we have a tendency to lengthen this journey by ignoring the road to our child’s heart and over time the road becomes more difficult to navigate because we did not take the time to repair the potholes and collapsed bridges. The journey becomes more impassable because of the layers of ego, self-ritechessness, apathy, addition to chemical and not chemical entities, depression, anxiety, drama and social baggage we have added to the road.
