All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School. These are the things I learned:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that arent yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt someone.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warn cookies and cold milk are good for you. :-)
Take a nap every afternoon.
Live a balanced life--learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and
work some every day.
Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the styrofoam cup--they all die.
...So do we.
When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
