Gardens Of Expectation!
- The Premise.
- The priceless riches of life are in it's seasons. As we
live passing from one season of life to the next we have
different expectations for each season as life matures us. Each
season or stage of maturity affects us in different ways. Theses
changes touch every aspect of our being. As individual's we mature at
different rates. Some people may develop faster physically others
mental development is faster. Still others can suffer from slow
physical and mental development. Regardless of what rate a person
matures the seasons still come and go.
- The tides of change.
- Every stage in life brings with it different experiences.
The challenges that are presented by these seasons are the true
adventures and the greatest that can be taken in life. Learning how to
acquire the resources to sustain our personal being is an adventure in
it's self. The objective is to work to live and not live to work. There
is a potential problem of our struggling with short term goals and
loosing
sight of our long term goals. When ever we want to accomplish something
we need to form a mental picture of that goal.
- First seeds.
- Babies are the seeds of early spring freshly planted and
ready to grow. We come into life as a fresh sheet of paper having no
writing on it. In the process of growing the sheet began to fill with
writing as we gain knowledge of self and learn about life. As time
passes we obtain our own personality. Then we began to have expectations
and working to achieve goals. At first it is simple goals like crawling,
walking. Then we want to fit in to have a place first in our family
then in society. As we grow and mature through the seasons of life we
become more responsible for our own well being. These are the
reasons that pictures and video become valuable keepsakes.
- Early Spring
- The cycle for each stage of development has the
potential learning experience as that for a new born. As a new born we
seek to have our basic needs meet. We are totally dependent on others
to take care of us. How well we are taken care of depends o
n our care givers abilities to discern what we need when we need it and
then supplying it. Some where around the age of two we enter into a new
season. Most of us can walk, and now we are seeking to talk. If our
care givers are good with us we are to say potty trained. We are well
aware of play and laughter. Three years later at the age of five we
petty much have our own personality. The type of person we are has
jelled. Any bad traits that have developed if not changed at this stage
or worked on will just about be there for life.
- Kids: The tender shoots
- Some where around seven and now we pick who we want to
play with or who our friends are. We now have the run of the
block if you live in the city. Ma and pa don't have to watch us
constantly to keep us safe we know to stay out of the street. It's been
a long time since we put everything in our mouths to find out what it
is.
- Preteens: The hardy plant.
- The age of twelve has arrived we ain't no kid no more. But
then who did you ask that. Don't ask the 16 to 18 year olds teens cause
to them a 12 year old teen is still a kid and hanging out with them
cramps their style. It's a long stretch to 16 and a lot has to be
learned. There is more freedom and more responsibility.
- Teens: The harden plant.
- Seventeen definitely the last year of being a child
it's the edge of adulthood. This is the year to do some wing testing.
Leaving home alone and with friends to come and go under your own
power. But there is still a bewitching hour to be back home and not be
in trouble.
- Eighteen you have to do all your own thinking. If you make
a bad decision it's on you. You have the freedom to stay gone as long
as
you like. All night and even for days on end if you so chose. You are a
part of the adult world working to earn an income to meet the expenses
of life. Sure there are no absolutes everybody doesn't make
it across thrush holds at the same time. Some teens have been working
now for a few years. Then there are those who have not given work a
serious thought, and have not set any goals for themselves or given the
long term future any thought.
- Young Adults
- Uh! the summer years. Youth Once again we find ours
selves in a second spring time. Seeking to find furile grounds in which
to plant our own crops. Life has much promise and much to offer. There
is much work to do. The last 20 years or so for many have been a
preperation for this stage of life. There are many differnt crops to be
planted and tended.
- Mature Adults
- The season of rippenig crops. As you know there are many
fruit to be harvested. Due season yields its crop
- The Golden Years.
- The full harvest. It's been said that once a man twice a
child. That statement is a dual edged sword.
