"Every child is born in the garden of humanity,as a flower.
Each flower differs from every other flower."
Thich Nhat Hanh
We are born as a vibrant flower, different from all of the other flowers. Our uniqueness is intentional for us to bloom in our own individual way. And yet from early stages, we are given the impression that there is something not just right about our body, mind and soul.
We are taught to conform, to blindly recite prayers exactly, and to stop behaving incorrectly. At first this seems rather odd to our inner spirits and we push further exploring. Eventually, we hide our true nature in trade for other's expectations.
As we grow older, we encourage young people to be fully who they are inside. We support creative endeavors and listen quietly to goals and dreams. Deep within us, we feel the untouchable, hear the unspoken, and see the unseen.
