Make the Ordinary Come Alive
“Do not ask children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable
but it is a way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand
and make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.”
In memory of Bronwyn Blackstock
