I too am fascinated with timeless wisdom... it's timeless for a reason; it makes sense! SO much so that contemporaries start to consider it cliche, and the "reinvent the wheel" mentality ensues.<br />I'd love to collaborate with you on something in this vein; perhaps a post thread or paper to publish. As I told you before, I am heavily influenced by First Nations spirituality and wisdom, and I'm wondering if you have seen "Recreating the World..." by Michael and Judy Bopp? http://tinyurl.com/y8672qlSeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898902767993372053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574469779496191524.post-2527843672701631022010-04-03T19:37:38.855-06:002010-04-03T19:37:38.855-06:00A fantastic posting, thank you.

It seems that we spend so much time ignoring our elders that we just end up repeating the same mistakes over and over again with newer and newer toys.<br /><br />There is so much wisdom in the words of those who have gone before. This applies as much today as it did when the words were spoken. It all leads back to my current thought on the goal of education: respect. We need to start respecting that our problems are the problems of our anscestors and they fought valiently against them as we do now. What they learned should not be ignored just because they did not live now.Matthew Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044304820820942823noreply@blogger.com
