Knowing and going, 6 janvier 2006

The places we go
The places we know
The things that we show
The hearts that all glow

Life is but a journey friend
And friend with friend up till the end
We should be happy and we should be free
You should be you and I'll just be me

And OH, OH, the places we'll go
We'll go hither and we'll go fro
Over the rainbow and under a smile
Making the light year seem less than a mile

My own trek is one through theology
Determined it feels by biology
And compels me upon my wonderful way
And never doubting it for a day

That this is where I'm called to be
This is what I'm charged to see
By some much grander holy light
Which may someday give me greater sight

And until then the faith I'll hold
To try to make the journey bold
So that everyplace will feel like home
For everyplace is someone's home

Be it brown or be it blue
In a castle or a shoe
In the up and out the down
Journeying through every town

And still there will be more places to go
Still more ways in which we can grow
But may we never outgrow the Seuss
For then, dear friends, life's not much use

This is a lesser-known Dr. Seuss book, but still a great story and great learning device. This is especially well suited for children who are going through a transition or change in life, to show them in a cute and memorable way that life is journey in and of itself, and that there are good things to be found when leaving the security and safety of home.

An excellent text for children who may be nervous about going to school, going on a trip, or major life changes, this book is real treasure.
