   With knowledge and learning comes responsibility.  Incorporating this new information into one’s life is what we call change.  The change may be subtle or it could turn your world upside down; it may be a welcome relief or extremely terrifying.  But it is our responsibility to make the changes necessary for our own growth and evolution.

   We also have the responsibility to share our knowledge with others, for we are all students and we are all teachers.  The evolution of the human mind is happening at such a rapid pace because new information and knowledge may be transferred from one another faster than ever before.  With all of this collective learning taking place comes the need for great change as well. 

   When we deny this necessary change in our lives, because of fear or uncertainty, we suffer.  When we aren’t teaching those who need to learn from us, we suffer.  When we are not thirsting for knowledge like eager students, we suffer.

   After decades of technological advancement and corporate domination over the natural world, our children are paying the price for the convenience of modern society.  The symptoms are millions of children suffering from asthma, ADD, and previously unheard of allergies to foods humans survived on for thousands of years.  Mainstream medicine and pharmaceutical compaines would have us believe that our children should be medicated, just as millions of parents are today.  However, a growing number of scientists, doctors, nutritionists, educators, parents, and even journalists are joining together to stand up for the rights of the next generation to have a clean environment, healthy nutrition, natural and preventative healthcare.  Given these basic human rights, our children will have the opportunity to create a better future through innovation, creativity, and perseverance.

I used to think that in order to be a good mother I should have my life figured out, a career, a set path.  Attending college while raising three kids made me feel like I was going backwards to finish something I should have already done.  Now I realize that what I am learning may actually benefit my children much more than if I had learned it before having them.  It’s as if we are on a journey together; one of self-discovery, knowledge and the inter-connectedness of our world.  I am learning to appreciate and be inspired and find my place in the world.  And this place is not separate from my children, just as it it not separate from the environment and all others living in it.  It is important that my children learn how they are connected to everything else and that they have the power to change our world for the better.  The realization that learning does not only take place in an institution, but perhaps even more in the natural world has helped me to begin on a path with my children, which is lined with wonder, inspiration and hope.
