the wonder of child is what is lacking in this by adults who have forgotten that world is a place of wonder if we would take notice. It is all in the notice. With children immediately on these devices they are divorced from wonder quickly now and may never meet it! Wonder is what is lacking in this. The universe is wonder. The stars are wonder. The sun is wonder. Plant growth is amazing. On a iPhone at two years is not.

It is! It’s absolutely missing in so many people. Can you imagine sending your small children to elementary school to see nothing but yelling and hatred? It’s quite a visual. Seeing the world like a child, being filled with the spirit of goodness and love is sadly harder than all the grownup hatred, bitterness and resentment. Thank you so much for reading and for your comment! ox

It is all scripted as far as I am concerned. It is terrible. Thanks for jumping in.

Can you explain a little more what you feel is scripted?

This is planned by the social scientist, educators. I went to public school. Back in the 80's. social indoctrination. Not education. Tie in the devices and we have this

I would like to learn how you added these music videos to your article.

Oh it's quite easy! So you "google the name of the artist or song, videos," etc., then pick the video you want. Open it up and see where it says "share" and click. Choose "embed" - then hit "Copy" and paste it into your story. You can then back space delete the html for the link and the video will remain. If you highlight and delete the html it can potentially erase other words you typed or the whole video (I've done that before so I just carefully back space delete it! lol) P.M. me if you need more help! oxox

Thank you Jamie ❤️ I write to myself right? I need it and crave it daily. I love writing through the music. It's great to stumble upon stories like Amos' story. It's an amazing gift to be struck by Grace. Sending you much love. Have a blessed weekend. ox

Thank you so much for reading and for this comment! It is so true. I love when I read stories like that, where someone with so much fame and self-importance is given a great big dose of Grace. Amos Lee has been raising money for children with cancer since. Serving a deeper purpose. ox
