The child Is made of one
hundred
The child has:
a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of
thinking .. of playing.. of speaking
a hundred.. always a
hundred ways of listening, of marveling, of loving
a hundred joys for
singing and understanding
a hundred worlds to
discover
a hundred worlds to
dream
the child has a
hundred languages
and a hundred hundred hundred more…
But they steal ninety
nine
the school and
culture
separate the head
from the body
They tell the child :
To think without
hands
To do without head
To listen and not to
speak
To understand without
joy, Love and marveling
Only at easter and Christmas
They tell the child :
To discover the world
already there
And of the hundred
languages
They steal ninety
nine
Forcing thought
without body
Action without mind
They tell the child
That work and play
Reality and fantasy
Science and
imagination
Sky and earth
Reason and dream
Are things
That do not belong
together
And thus they tell
the child
That a hundred is not
there
The child knows :
The hundred is there
