This is the student wall at Anïas' and Illïus' school. It is so beautiful to step into this school and know that love, acceptance and friendship is the focus here. This school struggles with the dilemmas of today for sure. Things may go wrong, but there is a firm active belief that all people are valuable and that we all belong to the same family. Life is interesting. It seems to me, if one does not receive love and learn to love oneself and others at an early age, one might suffer very dark and rough sideffects later on in life. Love like a child, live like a child (playfulness and humor), and be quick about forgiving people like children are masters in doing. Starting over with speedy forgiveness is less costly than to allow slow poisoning of ones thoughs and memories. Pride has ruined many nations. We can learn alot from children around us.
Kindness and patience is an active walking and talking presence at this place among students and faculty. These living witnesses humble me and make me strive to become a better person.
Below are som pictures from this day:
Xavier is getting ready to go and pick up his older brothers across the street. Here he is showing off his heart that took so long to glue. A beautiful heart with lots of shiny beads and papers. His good friend Jenny is telling him he made a 'very lovely heart'.
Xavier stopped me outside the school gate and quickly rolled up a present he was supposed to give at home. He got too excited I guess, and popped it on the snow for display. He had painted this day with his very good friend Alex from school and used snazzy glitterpaint.
Illïus fell in love with the wrapping paper Jeffrey had wrapped a gift in. He salvaged it, cut a heart out and glued this prised artwork together. A real labor of love. He was soooo proud and deligted over this gift and I can honestly say that both my husband and felt so much joy that we had the opportunity of sharing this moment together as a family. We are a blessed as a family. And you are welcome to be part of it. My thoughts and love go out to all mankind this Valentine's day.
Happy Valentine's day!
