Digging a Hole to China

I love to walk on the beach and every time it offers something

different.  One day recently was calm surf and a hole to China!  I

remembered a little girl digging and digging on the shore and

saying, "Daddy, I'm digging a hole all the way to China."  Those

days of my childhood were delightful, magical, safe, full of love

and possibility.

The hole on the beach that morning suggested that a child still tries to dig all the

way through to China.  Our children, every last one, need a calm ocean to be

able to dig a hole to China; a safe and secure place to imagine and dream.  Let's

all work to create that kind of world!
