Have you ever felt you are failing to live your role as adult for today’s kids and Life on Earth?
We affirm that you have reason to and congratulate you, since you have a proper benchmark of what it means to be an Adult. Let’s look at it more precisely in the worlds of the “savages” who treasure initiations into Adulthood.
ADULT: A Guardian of this magnificent planet of majestic mountains, forests and streams, for the Little Ones to grow up in with peace, love, bliss, friendship, vibrant community, unfolding their talents and dreams, protecting the gentle and vulnerable from violence, abuse and pollution of their bodies, minds and hearts. – Eric Schneider, YL Captain
