and she noticed the cup... she knelt down by my bed and said, what is that... I remembered being really scared to tell her. I told her it was a lady bug I found in school... and I clearly remember her telling me, it looked really small to survive on its own. She told me the lady bug needed its mum and dad to survive as it was very young... kind of like me... and that I needed to take it back to its parents. I was so sad, and I cried so much because I felt so bad for being so selfish, I wanted to go that moment to take it back to its parents. The next day I release him back, exactly where I found him, and cried because his parents were nowhere to be found. I never picked up an bug or animal from that day on... I watched them from afar... until I was done and then left them at peace. Dr. Janes message was simple. She said, her life could have been very different because of her familys financial circumstances. But, had it not been for her mother, who never got upset with her, and always helped her understand her curiosity, or share with her what she found that day... she would not be the scientist she is today. Her curiosity would have been killed, and she would not be as determined as she is to seek, learn and know. Curiosity is built in us, as children we are not seeking "yes" or "no" answers, we are seeking reasons. Many times its easier to hide, lie or avoid, but its ramifications are huge! We are raising a world that is disconnected from its heart... where brain and heart dont think hand in hand. Dr. Jane Goodall said "there is devastation when ones brain and heart are not connected."
