In abandon and loneliness, life lead the artist to the Inner Essence. For She is what is still, when we feel there is nothing left.

WHY do so many people think that they have the right to rule or control people, especially children? and I'm not talking about courtesy, decency, respect etc. though there's precious little of that either way between parents and children in this country today. WHY do so many people seem to believe that these things have to be beaten or oppressed into another human being? GIVE respect GIVE courtesy you nearly always get it back GIVE people the right to choose for themselves even at early age, so they can practice and have confidence. People big and small are out of control because they do not know what control they have nor what to do with it. I'd love to shout some more - but I have to go out, hehe LOVE to my lovelies xxxx “They thought they had lost control….”

GIVE respect
GIVE courtesy
you nearly always get it back

GIVE people the right to choose for themselves
even at early age, so they can practice and have confidence.

People big and small are out of control because they do not know what control they have nor what to do with it.

I’d love to shout some more - but I have to go out, hehe
LOVE to my lovelies

You could have spent your whole life suffering and in agony if you had held onto your thoughts of how you had been mis-treated, but instead you used the experience to fuel your passion, to become independant and to think for yourself and follow your heart. You could say that your parents did you a huge favour and although their actions, undoubtedly motivated by their love for you, could have been judged as 'wrong', it has worked out to have been just 'right'.

Where does the belief in the self come from? I sometimes use my story when teaching students about resilience, as an example of how it is possible to survive and flourish against the odds, but I have a hard time explaining where the inner belief that I was worth it came from. So many young adults give up their sense of self to others. They give their hearts and bodies freely without thought, without honouring themselves. I try to show them how to find their inner strength, but it`s not easy. We can believe in them, but in order to live, they must believe in themselves. Where does the inner strength come from?
