You Are A Marvel. You Are A Miracle.
Pablo Casals
Each second we live
is a new and
unique moment of the universe,
a moment that will never be again...
Well, then...what do we teach our
children?
We teach them that two and two make four,
and that Paris is the capital of France.
When will we also teach
them what they are?
We should say to each of them:
Do you know what you are? You are a marvel.
You are
unique. You are so miraculous.
In all the years that have passed,
there has never been another child like you.
Your
legs, your arms, your clever fingers,
the way you move.
You may become a Shakespeare,
a Michelangelo, a Beethoven.
You
have the capacity for anything.
Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up
can you then harm another who is,
like you,
a marvel?
You must work, we must all work,
to make the world worthy of its children.
You were
not born to kill and be killed.
You were born to love.
Therefore, please don't harm other people,
and don't go to
war.
If the mothers all over the world
can tell this thing to their children sincerely,
surely, conflict will disappear
from the world.
The world will change.
I believe that the children will surely
make a peaceful world.
