#52. Children Do Not Start a War
Reflecting on children in wars, in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Trying to foster hope in my heart and inquire what I can do in times like these.
Sparks of hopes for me are reading wisdom words:
§ Our purpose does not lie in a movement to create professional musicians, but to create people of beautiful minds and fine ability through an unparalleled, uniquely musical approach. We engage in human education through music so that children will grow beautifully with high sensitivity. - Dr Shinichi Suzuki
§ To teach the arts to children is nothing less than to be charged with their destiny. -Dr Katoaka
§ This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before. -Leonard Bernstein

#51. A Seed is Planted in the Earth
"Every child has an unlimited potential", Dr Shinichi Suzuki
So, how do we motivate children to do their work - practice their instrument, do their homework, help in the house etc.
Do we need to motivate them?
Anything we learn needs encouragement and acknowledgement, in order to make us want to repeat it.
When we want our children to have the desire to do learn, play and practice, we have to reflect on our role in it.
Love and desire are necessary to acquire ability.
The thirst to learn is innate in every child. We don't need to create it, but we need to make sure we don't harm it.
How can we allow it to grow and continue to develop?
Self motivation might be the key here. Self motivation comes with self discipline.
When children become self motivated it transfer to other areas in their life. It becomes a part of their character.
" Man is a son of his environment", Shinichi Suzuki.
If art and music are in the environment , children will naturally absorb the love for it.
When a parent asks, "how can I help my child love doing this", the answer will be, " love it yourself".
The way you approach the practice will be the way your child approaches the practice.
Like what you want your child to like. Invest the love, and trust that it will be in the heart of your child.
One of my favourite quotes:
“A seed is planted in the earth. We don’t see when the germination begins.That is the doing of Mother Nature. We have to wait patiently.We cannot dig up the seed to see wheatear it is really growing; to do so would be to destroy everything. Suddenly a bud appears. What a joy and pleasure to watch it grow! At the same time the root, unseen in the ground, is getting stronger and has the power to produce a big, sturdy tree”. (Shinichi Suzuki, Nurtured by Love)
Love and nurture the seed with curiosity and wait to marvel in the flower or tree.
Don't judge day by day. keep the big picture in your heart. Believe in your child.

#50. We Don't Know the Whole Story Yet
When we stop and slow down the minutes become thicker and longer.
When we slow down we have more time ; time becomes more spacious.. more precious.
When we empty the mind the heart fills up.
Grief contains wisdom. And on my day of retreat I heard its whispers .
Things in life cannot be judged merely in "good" or "bad". Only time will tell the whole story.
Like in the Taoist story about the old farmer.
As we go through the transition in the world we are invited to let go of things that belong to the world we leave behind.
To tune in... to take a breath... to trust the inner voice, our soul.
To dare to not know.

#49. Let Soul Speak
How can we go beyond division
Sweet intimacy and/or Self love
The place we could meet beyond our divide.
Let Soul speak and wait for the wonder.
“Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other” doesn’t make any sense.” - Rumi
Thank you for coming.
