This is not a Goodbye ... but still ...* smile*

It was for the children, the neglected and abused I once started my Network ”The Child Within”
It was for those I once started my groups about The ”Barefoot Children” and our inner child .
These groups will no longer be here.

But for those of you who think it is necessary and important to care about children in general and the vulnerable children in particular. I hope this shows by your joining "The Child Within" http://gunillacaisson.ning.com/ where you not only find this group, but where the whole network is built primarily around children and this our inner child.

We've all agreed that everything starts with the Children and this our Inner Child, since it’s the source of peace. How comes then that I haven’t found so many Networks on Ning dedicated to the children?

We are discussion big dreams while children are dying literally and figuratively on our doorstep.
We believe we can eradicate violence and war, with shortcuts. Only when all our children are fed, seen confirmed and loved, we have created a breeding ground where the violence is not taking hold. Until then we will have the society and the world we deserve.

I’m on my way to close down my groups her on iPeace since I have to focus on what I once came here for. The children. It is easy to become distracted and seduced by all the grandeur here * smile *
So I will return to my ” virtual home” here one the Net; ”The Child Within” and the groups go with me.,

But I will not leave ipeace definitively I will hide in the group ”We cannot always shine”;)
which I will leave here since nowhere it is more needed then here . *smile*

It was created just for this Network, and I gave the ”Sorrow” a face and I’m proud of that *smile*
That’s a sort of payback for all the children we did not ”see”. They are grown up now filled with sorrow and disappointment. Where are those who want to listen to their stories ? We can learn from them if we just create the needed forum. This is (was) one of them

I maybe wasn’t such a good ambassador for the ”Barefoot Children” (when watching the number of members in my group) But by focusing on ”The Child Within” I will make up for it but for that I need your help. I want you with me…

I have made so many friends here and I have experienced meetings I will never forget. So I owe a great debt of gratitude to ipeace.

So I want to wish this Network and all its members good luck. Keep your goal alive, but at the same time do not forget that it all starts with the children..

For you,maybe by joining "The Child Within" http://gunillacaisson.ning.com/ *smile*

This was not a Goodbuy…but still… something similar

Thank you all and welcome...

Ps. To David. I took your poem with me, please follow it or tell me I was wrong *smile* Ds

I shall be in touch with you and not lose you for anything even though I am not too vociferous now, I observe and radiate in silence. Thank you for everything. I wish all peace sites could unite to radiate love and peace. This is needed very much now in these dark days. Things are pretty bad here too. I love you and God bless you...Quintus

Comment by gunilla caisson on February 4, 2010 at 1:10am: Here you touched something really important . Are we going into a society where all conversation have to be made in 140 characters and can be tweeted.
I`m glad I`m old...:) I have no words for what is happening.
I study both facebook and twitter and can see that today people are more occupied to be seen than to see.
So I start to feel just for joking. A defence maybe, but who want to feel ridiculous, by inviting and inviting to deeper discussions... that will not happen and this blog-post was just one too much

I do not know what to say. But I`m happy that there still are people like you collectings stories and I´m worried for the next generation..
Your friend/Gunilla

Comment by Stephanie on February 4, 2010 at 12:45am: Gunilla... I enjoyed reading your very felt message above.
You wrote to me over a week ago and asked "Where is the good conversation?"
People are so involved in so much that sometimes, the more important things are forgotten. You are so right that children are, or should be at the very top of the list in the world and in our lives.
You are so right in many things you say.
I read here, so many meaningful blogs and comments....some are truly beautiful, but people don't have time anymore even to say hello! Famillies don't have time to call, people don't think to say "I love you". We are all involved in too much and we lose track of what is truly important. We don't stop to smell the flowers, as they say.

Your sensitivity will be felt wherever you go, and your actions will inspire others I am sure.
Keep up your good work and when you have to, express yourself as you did here above.
I too on the story group am not getting the response I did once....people were excited to tell story after story...but now the choice is wide and people have even more to do than before. And stories are hard to remember or people don't want to share as they did. It is all a learning process, I try to understand why things change, but they definitely do.
Lovely meeting you
The best to you
And to the children....they should be honoured to have such a supportive person looking after their well-being.
your friend
Stephanie

We have "friends" and then we have friends.
And in a situation like this you will learn to separate them.

I`m so grateful for that. *smile*
