Copilul care mi-ar fi placut sa fiu

Uneori imi place sa ma plimb printre blog-uri si sa sar dintr-un unul in altul, descoperind mereu oameni si ganduri interesante. In seara asta, intr-o scurta plimbare printre bloguri am descoperit urmatoarea poezie intr-un http://jurnal-pe-pinza.blogspot.com/ M-am gandit ca e valabila si pentru copilul care mi-ar fi placut sa fiu:


If I had my child to raise all over again
by Diana Loomans

If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self esteem first, and the house later.
I'd fingerpaint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less and know to care more.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often.
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.
I'd model less about the love of power,
And more about the power of love.
