PRACTICE 29



"It is just as hard to convey to a teenager the length of years as it is to convey to them the far reaching affects of action into their futures in real life. I am an advocate for the development of a child, and initiating a child into adulthood. Which means the concept of adolescence I am opposed to is not part of the original design of human life. Adolescence gifts the child with problems initiations do not give unto them. Very deeply I think children do not need their childhood development stifled by the electronics parents are overwhelmed by in the 21st century. Parents have created their own problems with their belief in sales people and unabashed devotion to consuming and ignorance of investing. The electronics parents have been using to entertain their children have to be secondary for the most part, and invisible in the first six years of life. They need to come into the child's life later with wisdom according to the child's spirit, and most importantly at the time a child's spirit is fully in their body.

 After the development of certain specifics are in place the electronics can enter a child's life as a tool; a tool and nothing more than a tool. Otherwise, the problems I've seen become detrimental in perceptible and subtle ways that predators easily take advantage of. . ." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12.28.13

"My people are plains Indian. You did capture the swirl of cold and rushing wind that is unforgiving. I use to sleep in snow and upon ice without fire when I was a younger man out of necessity. I understand the feeling and the possibility of the body in the elements. I know why the man on horseback can sit his horse like this. The stoic nature of his posture has to do with his indifference to death and acceptance of his presence in the present moment with its challenge: the cold." - Gregory E. Woods 12.28.13
