The Eclipse of the Masters
The spark extinguished.
Expecting and demanding our
Children to follow the well-beaten path,
Learning to accept “we’ve always done it like this,”
Inhibits and illegitimatizes the child’s spark. It is to throw a
Pall over their passion and their very being – blocking their personal
Spark of individuality and inspirational ideas and -
Eclipsing the potential of those who could have been the masters and geniuses of our future.

It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.
