"Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill shall be made low:
and the crooked shall be made straight,
and the rough places plain . . . "
Isaiah 40:4
****************
"For God has decreed the flattening
of each high mountain, of the everlasting hills,
the filling of the valleys to make the ground level
so that Israel can walk in safety . . . "
Baruch 5: 7
****************
". . . settle your mean heights down
a little to short heights . . . "
How did this tiny little girl get to be so wise? She hardly looks old enough to have listened to a performance of the Messiah, yet she is able to understand the message of the prophets. She seems to have no trouble grasping the concept of a middle ground, of bringing the high low and the low high. Truly, "a little child shall lead them":
Mom, are you ready to be his friend?
~ Yes.
Try not to be that high up to be friends.
I want everything to be low. Okay?
~ Okay.
Just try your best.
I don't want you and my dad to be replaced and meanies again.
I want you and my dad to be placed as settled and be friends.
I'm not trying to be mean.
I just want everyone to be friends.
And if I can be nice, I think all of us can be nice too.
I'm not trying to be mean, but
I'm trying to do my best in my heart.
Nothing else than that.
I want you Mom, my dad, everyone to be friends.
I want everyone to be smiling,
Not like being mad. I want everything smile.
Especially when I see someone, I want them to smile.
Especially Nana, everyone. I want everyone to smile.
And if that's for my dad and you Mom,
I think you can do it.
I think you can settle your mean heights down
a little to short heights.
Then it's both. Okay?
I'm not trying to be mean.
I'm not trying to be a bully.
I'm trying to be steady, on the floor.
Not way down. On straight.
On the middle where my heart is.
My heart is something.
Everyone else's heart is something too.
And if we live in a world where everyone is being mean,
everyone is going to be a monster in the future.
What if there is a little bit of persons
and we will eat them?
Then no one will ever be here,
Only the monsters in our place.
We need everyone to be a person. Everyone.
Including me and my mom, everyone,
I just want everything to be settled down.
Nothing else.
I want everything to be good as possible.
Nothing else.
~ Thank you Tiana. I love you.
I love you too.
"Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill made low,
the crooked straight and the rough places plain."
