a logical and literary dramatic project of their own.

It is necessary to give an immediate response to a
child. Children need to know that we are their
friends, that they can depend on us for the things they
desire, that we can support them in the things that
they have, but also in the things that they dream
about, that they desire.

—-Malaguzzi

It is not the professor who
applies psychology to children, it is the children them-
selves who teach psychology to the professor.

Constant repetition of the mantra is something the person does not do for one’s own sake. The beneficiary is not the person. Just like the candle which does not increase by burning.

—- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj / Maurice Frydman 

The man called his wife Havah [life], because she was the mother of all living.

—–Bereshit 

The words ‘outer’ and ‘inner’ are relative to the body only; in reality all is one, the outer being merely a projection of the inner. Awareness comes as if from a higher dimension.

—Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj / Maurice Frydman

from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace

—- John

the thought of the “yes, yes” given to this shadowless gift at the ripening high noon, beneath that division whose borders are inundated by sunlight: the overflowing cup of the sun.

I will take my stand to watch,
and station myself on the tower

Over me soared the eternal sky,
Full of light and of deity

—- Emerson

grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Again I saw, again I heard,
The rolling river, the morning bird;–
Beauty through my senses stole;
I yielded myself to the perfect whole

    make it plain upon tablets,
    so he may run who reads it.
For still the vision awaits its time

—- Habakukk

surround the Universe Within and
Without; & whatever is visible in the Vegetable Earth

For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

—-John

A chorus of smiles, a winter morning

His glory covered the heavens,
    and the earth was full of his praise.

 His brightness was like the light,
    rays flashed from his hand

 I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.

Without writing, un-writing, the unwritten switches over to a question of reading on a board or tablet which you perhaps are.

What we have to do now is draw out the image of the
child, draw the child out of the desperate situations
that many children find themselves in. If we redeem
the child from these difficult situations, we redeem
ourselves.

—-Malaguzzi

Anxiety weighs down the heart,
but a kind word cheers it up.

—-Mashal/Proverbs

The time of day or the density of the light
Adhering to the face keeps it
Lively and intact in a recurring wave
Of arrival. The soul establishes itself.

—–John Ashbery

At once they left their nets and followed him.

—-Mark

A particle at the point of open awareness, The gentle firing is warm.

—Sun Bu-er

Both children and adults need to feel active and
important — to be rewarded by their own efforts,
their own intelligences, their own activity and
energy. When a child feels these things are valued,
they become a fountain of strength for him. He feels
the joy of working with adults who value his work
and this is one of the bases for learning.

—-Malaguzzi

God saw everything that he had made, and indeed it was very good.

—-Bereshit

Forms more cheerly live and go,
What time the subtle mind
Sings aloud the tune whereto
Their pulses beat

—-Emerson

The people were amazed at his teaching

—- Gospel of Mark

Then Adonai, God, formed a person [a] from the dust of the ground [b] and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, so that he became a living being.

—-Bereshit

—-Derrida

At once they left their nets and followed him.

These trees and stones are audible to me,
These idle flowers, that tremble in the wind,
I understand their faery syllables

—-Emerson

 the hills hear your voice

—- Micah

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

—-Mark

Riders of the motion that swings the face
Into view under evening skies

—–John Ashbery

enduring foundations of the earth

—- Micah

Flavor gladly blends with flavor;
Leaf answers leaf upon the bough;
And match the paired cotyledons.
Hands to hands, and feet to feet

—–Emerson

Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else”

—– Mark

The light by which you see the world, which is God is the tiny little spark: ‘I am’, apparently so small, yet the first and the last in every act of knowing and loving.

—- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj / Maurice Frydman

(A deconstructionist reading) would mean respect for that which cannot be eaten—respect for that in a text which cannot be assimilated. My thoughts on the limits of eating follow in their entirety the same schema as my theories on the indeterminate or untranslatable in a text. There is always a remainder that cannot be read, that must remain alien. This residue can never be interrogated as the same, but must be constantly sought out anew, and must continue to be written.

—- Derrida

2023 (#204) : Vygotsky , Gospel of John , Walt Whitman , Micah/Mikayahu , Bereshit , John Ashbery , Emerson , Gospel of Mark , Derrida

Just as a mold gives shape to a substance, words can shape an
activity into a structure. However, that structure may be changed or
reshaped when children learn to use language in ways that allow them
to go beyond previous experiences when planning future action.

—– Vygotsky

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God

—- Gospel of John

The old, old urge,
Based on the ancient pinnacles, lo, newer, higher pinnacles

—-Walt Whitman

I am filled with power,
    with the Spirit of the Lord

— Micah

 we
envisage verbal, intellectual activity as a series of stages in which the
emotional and communicative functions of speech are expanded by the
addition of the planning function. As a result the child acquires the ability
to engage in complex operations extending over time..

—Vygotsky

 He was in the beginning with God;  all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made

—- Gospel of John 

The noiseless myriads,
The infinite oceans where the rivers empty,
The separate countless free identities, like eyesight,
The true realities, eidolons

—-Walt Whitman

the water grew higher and floated the ark, so that it was lifted up off the earth. 

—-Bereshit/Genesis

 I keep, and pass, and turn again

—-Emerson

 In him was life, and the life was the light of men

—- Gospel of John

Perhaps an angel looks like everything
We have forgotten

—John Ashbery

We say to ourselves, Remember, fear not, be candid, promulge the body
and the soul,
Dwell a while and pass on

—-Walt Whitman

 they shall dwell secure

—- Micah

Moving outward along the capes and peninsulas
Of your nervures and so to the archipelagoes
And to the bathed, aired secrecy of the open sea

—-John Ashbery

 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. 

—-Mark

And this shall be peace

—- Micah

here the blue river,
The same blue wonder that my infant eye
Admired

—-Emerson

 bear witness to the light

—- Gospel of John

Meanwhile the whole history of probabilities is coming to life, starting in the upper left-hand corner, like a sail

—-John Ashbery

and the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the water.

—-Bereshit

The brown and green Nile rolls slowly
Like the Niagara’s welling descent

—-John Ashbery

The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world

—- Gospel of John

– So, this non-knowing . . . it is not a limit . . . of a knowledge, the limit in the progression of a knowledge. It is, in some way, a structural non-knowing, which is heterogeneous, foreign to knowledge. It’s not just the unknown that could be known and that I give up trying to know. It is something in relation to which knowledge is out of the question… it is a more ancient, more originary experience, if you will, of the secret. It is not a thing, some information that I am hiding or that one has to hide or dissimulate; it is rather an experience that does not make itself available to information, that resists information and knowledge, and that immediately encrypts itself …

—-Derrida

All of this pushes us to produce a higher level of observation. We must move beyond just looking at the child to become better observers, able to penetrate
into the child to understand each child’s resources and potential and present state of mind. We need to compare these with our own in order to work well together..

—-Malaguzzi

This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light

—- 1 John

Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power,
Cheerful, for freest action form’d under the laws divine

—-Walt Whitman

Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord

—- Mikayahu / Micah

a globe like ours, resting
On a pedestal of vacuum, a ping-pong ball
Secure on its jet of water

—-John Ashbery

but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another

—- 1 John

Like light behind windblown fog and sand,
Filtered and influenced by it

—-John Ashbery

to the house of the God

—-  Mikayahu / Micah

retiring to solitary places, and avoiding the noisy multitudes: A constant yearning to know the inner Spirit, and a vision of Truth which gives liberation: this is true wisdom leading to vision.

—-The Bhagavad Gita

 in him truly love for God is perfected

—-1 John

She cleaves the ether mid the sparkle and the foam of day, or under
many a star at night

—-Walt Whitman

 On that same day Noach entered the ark with Shem, Ham and Yefet the sons of Noach, Noach’s wife and the three wives of his sons accompanying them; 

—-Bereshit

Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. 

—-Mark

We feel the long pulsation, ebb and flow of endless motion,
The tones of unseen mystery, the vague and vast suggestions of the briny world, the liquid-flowing syllables

—-Walt Whitman

he may teach us his ways

— Mikayahu / Micah

The fields of art and learning, pleasure, sense,
To glean eidolons

—-Walt Whitman

 By this we may be sure that we are in him

—- John

the task, the mission to which one is destined (always by the other), the commitment, the duty, the debt, the responsibility … the bond and the love which seal the marriage between the author of the ‘original’ and his own language.

—- Derrida

and we may walk in his paths

—– Mikayahu / Micah

so that these
Even stronger possibilities can remain
Whole without being tested

—-John Ashbery

he who says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked

—- 1 John

Ever the growth, the rounding of the circle,
Ever the summit and the merge at last

but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree

—- Mikayahu / Micah

‘Pour down the rain, let all things find their food, thrive, rejoice.

—-Prasna Upanishad

 the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining

—-1 John

Ever the growth, the rounding of the circle,
Ever the summit and the merge at last

—-Walt Whitman

An analysis which is not merely a theoretical analysis, but at the same time another writing of the question of Being or meaning: deconstruction is also a manner or writing and putting forward another text.

—- Derrida

It is as though
nature had safeguarded each child from the influence of
human intelligence in order to give the inner teacher that
dictates within, the possibility of making a complete
psychic construction before the human intelligence can
come in contact with the spirit and influence it.

—- Montessori

Lo, the unbounded sea,
On its breast a ship starting, spreading all sails, carrying even her
moonsails

—- Walt Whitman

W HEN analytical psychology speaks of the primordial image or
archetype of the Great Mother, it is referring, not to any concrete image existing in space and time, but to an inward image at work
in the human psyche.

—- Eric Neumann

A person can receive only what is given them from heaven

—–John

The water overpowered the earth mightily; all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered; 

—- Bereshit/Genesis

Things arise and she lets them come;

things disappear and she lets them go.

Pursues its uneventful, even serene course

They surround the ship with shining curving motions and foam

— Walt Whitman

To locate a thing you need space, to place an event you need time; but the timeless and spaceless defies all handling. It makes everything perceivable, yet itself it is beyond perception. The mind cannot know what is beyond the mind, but the mind is known by what is beyond it. 

—– Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj / Maurice Frydman

And the mountains will melt under him
    and the valleys will be cleft,
like wax before the fire,
    like waters poured down a steep place.

which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life

The momentum of a conviction that had been building

—-John Ashbery

Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs

—-Walt Whitman

the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
    and shall be raised up above the hills;
and peoples shall flow to it

I assure you that I am the gate of the sheep.

—-John 

This nondescript, never-to-be defined daytime is
The secret of where it takes place

—-John Ashbery

Having studied the mocking-bird’s tones and the flight of the mountain-hawk

—-Walt Whitman

The knower is the unmanifested, the known is the manifested. The known is always on the move, it changes, it has no shape of its own, no dwelling place. The knower is the immutable support of all knowledge; Each needs the other, but reality lies beyond.

—- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj / Maurice Frydman

Therefore the Master

acts without doing anything

and teaches without saying anything.

—-Tao Te Ching

Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”

—–Mark 

 without managing to close itself on its possibility, unsealing abandoning the circle open, wandering on the periphery, taking the pulse of an encircling phrase, the pulsion of the paragraph which never circumpletes itself, as long as the blood, what I call thus and thus call, continues its venue in its vein.

—- Derrida

 And we are writing this that our[a] joy may be complete.

The key is curiosity, and it is curiosity, not answers, that we model. As we seek
to learn more about a child, we demonstrate the acts of observing, listening, questioning, and wondering. When we are curious about a child’s words and our responses to those words, the child feels respected. The child is respected.

—- Vivian Paley

We never come to thoughts. They come

to us.

—- Heidegger

 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.

—- Mark

It is difficult to dissociate a culture of hospitality from a culture of laughter or a culture of smile. It is not a matter of reducing laughter to smile or the opposite, but it is hard to imagine a scene of hospitality during which one welcomes without smiling at the other, without giving a sign of joy or pleasure, without smiling at the other as at the welcoming of a promise.

—-Derrida

This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between myself and every living creature on the earth.

—- Bereshit

Here spirituality the translatress, the openly-avow’d,
The ever-tending, the finale of visible forms,
The satisfier, after due long-waiting now advancing,
Yes here comes my mistress the soul

—-Walt Whitman

 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

—-Bereshit/Genesis

All things happen
On its balcony and are resumed within,
But the action is the cold, syrupy flow
Of a pageant.

—-John Ashbery

I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

—-John 

   God in heaven and the eternal say: “Do it today. Now is the day of salvation.”

Today has no margins, the event arrives
Flush with its edges, is of the same substance,
Indistinguishable.

—-Mundaka Upanishad

  It is not the person that is doing sadhana. The person is in unrest and resistance to the very end. It is the witness that works on the person, on the totality of its illusions, past, present and future.

—–Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj / Maurice Frydman 

 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
