So many faces 
of life and change
Changing: Facing it, and its Faces
And so the child reaches up toward the heavens and they feel the beat of the world and the tides of the waters about them. The beat of life fills them and a new intensity is their force. A fire begins to kindle in their spirits.
Now the child knows that they are in danger of being swept away and drowned within them. Only within themselves do they cry out for help. The Spirit is now the teacher, and the teacher says learn now and make your choices wisely.
In silent fear the child bends to look within their private pool for reassurence. But alas! What meets the child's eyes, but a face that might be a stranger! It is now that strength must be gathered and the child must learn to deal with the flames of life without burning themselves. For the fires in their lives now change as the wind changes. But though fires can burn and destory, so can it warm and comfort.
Now is the time when all that grows within the soil of the child must keep its root or be pulled as a weed. And so forms the island within the child's waters so that the very life is formed from death and rebirth.
It is the summer, the time for interaction and energy to pulse !
