Part of what we do as a family is to Home School- Out School the grandchildren. It has been a wonderful and challenging experience as we evolve in our approach and curriculum and as the children take the lead in directing the context in which they chose to learn and the knowledge that they are interested in. The approach is “Child centered” because we are adamant and intentional in wanting to protect and nurture the divine design of our children. Everyday we start with learning and reciting a poem. I feel this particular poem is my favorite because it captures the essence of what we want to instill in our children that will be part of their perspective in approaching life. Every month the children get books from their subscription to Literati and they include a poem that is in alignment with the category of the books that they select to send the children. So, I must credit Literati for this poem!!

We are born to be wild, born to be brave,

To dance with the wind and explore the last cave.

Learn new stars and old stars, vast sands and seas; the secrets of forest, the wisdom of trees.

Find creatures with fur, with wings, and the scales

That move through the sky and hop along trails.

Unicorns, dragons, penguins, and pets.

Greet them with courage, you’ll have no regrets.

Think you’re a bookworm lost in a book?

Think again, young explorer-there’s more if you look!

Literati-

Is this not amazing! Is this not great! Can you even imagine living life through this gate?The gate to adventure, mystery, and endless possibilities that lay in wait. I think as adults we should take this to heart! For the lives we are living can be free of depression and suppression if we channel our course with this boundless lens and prescription of life. We were meant to be wildly expressive and creative in our life’s journey. We were meant to see and feel life as an adventure into unknown waters that held treasures of events that would feed our souls and embellish our heart’s desire for love, peace, joy, and compassion. These adventures we seek to enhance the quality and relevance of our life, are constrained only by our fear and unwillingness to past through that gate. Don’t wait to break free for time is time and we never know how much we have. Make use of each day! Stretch and push to move forward to your divine destiny call! For what has been prepared for you is especially yours.
