Most of what I really need to know about how to live
and what to do and how to be
I learned in Kindergarden.
Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain
but there in the sandbox at nursery school.
These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair.
Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that are not yours.
Say you are sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life.
Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing
and dance and play and work some every day.
When you go out into the World
watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.
Remember the little seed in the plastic cup.
The roots go down and the plant goes up
and nobody really knows how or why,
but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and even the little seed in the cup....they all die
So do we.
And remember the book about Dick and Jane
and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all....LOOK
Everything you need to know is there somewhere.
The Golden Rule and Love and basic sanitation.
Ecology and Politics and sane living
Think of what a better world it would be if we all
the whole world
had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon
and then lay down with our blankets for a nap.
Or if we had a basic policy in our Nation and other Nations
to always put things back where we found them
and to clean up our own messes.
And it's true,
no matter how old you are,
when you go out into the World
it is best to hold hands and Stick Together.
