Then, at the end of the three month display period (April/May/June), we had a party and a bid for the existing signs art/message/word, as well as new bids for the locations. It is a real win/win for the community, who enjoys and looks forward to the art, and benefits from the community participation. This is one of the word awareness programs from Roots & Wings. If your school would like to participate, please let us know!

Family
Within the etymology of the word family I found three main roots: Dwell, Fellowship, and Service. The root of the word dwell is "to be mad or foolish", and there is no place where our madness and foolishness manifests more clearly than in our families. Service & Fellowship. These words are much happier together, but they are not often enough together. That is what a real family does, isn’t it, practice service and fellowship? Service means simply "to be of use". Fellowship: "companions on equal & friendly terms". Family members are keepers of this light, with a bit of the inevitable madness & foolishness thrown in, right? There are many such families here, surely, where the circle of connectedness is kept intact, we remain useful and friendly to the family. Like a perpetual light that all in a parallel world are committed to; because it takes a great village of such families to raise the world. Questions we might ask ourselves..."Can I be at peace with mine & others madness & foolishness?" & "How can I reach out with my service & fellowship?"

About The Roots & Wings Books

The mission of Roots & Wings books and products is to inspire people to discover the power of words as seeds of intention, and to reconnect with words as symbols that not only describe, but create experience. Roots & Wings focuses attention on the positive and meaningful aspects of life, and provides a context and practical ways (guidance questions, right out of the book word activities, book club kit, laminated deck, tee shirts, blocks, and other wonderful products and community building activities-like- "The Word On The Street"-or "Made Ya Think!"), that involve us in the wise and wonderful hidden meanings living in our words. The R&W activities encourage us to invoke and experience our own “no-word-world”, a real and precious aspect of each of our lives. Roots & Wings energizes us to embrace what is truly priceless: an active connection with our own and our communities creativity! The good energy generated by experiencing our individual & group soul-spark, ripples out, revitalizing our world. Above, from Roots & Wings 4 Kids-blocks kids make (with the root of the word on the other side) in Roots & Wings Workshops. Q: What is the root of the word "ecology"? See upcoming posts & find out!

Everything Is Energy
The example I'm fond of using when people roll their eyes (even inwardly- I can tell) about this concept of intangibility is love in it's different facets. Like a diamond heart with many rays of manifestation, love, that ocean of unfathomable bliss and sweet torture that no yogi or poet can capture: Love: Union, True Marriage, God, Goddess, Ultimate Self, Higher Self, Divine Light, Surrender. Well, all I can say is, looking at the roots and wings of words really...makes me think!
