Window to the World



On this paticular day it had rained and we were unable to go outside. We opened the window which is at a perfect level for our little ones and let the wind and moist air blow against our faces. The children love to point out the things they see. In this instance they all seemed to share in the experience equally (lots of language between them). We keep this area open and have small step stools nearby so that they can elevate themselves and look at the the world from a new perspective. After all, looking at the world from multiple perspectives can be the foundation for compassion, and we try to encourage that every day. The environment we prepare can assist this process.
