Subject: ++ DAVID BOULTON, + DEEPER SENSE RE CHILD NATURE & POTENTIAL

DAVID -

- I ENJOYED, APPRECIATED OUR RECONNECTION, CONVERSATION, LAST NITE - +

ESPECIALLY ENJOY THIS FURTHER ELABORATION (previous message) REGARDING THE NATURE OF A CHILD AND

HER/HIS DISPOSITION TOWARD LEARNING, AND HOW ESPECIALLY 'SHAME' DISABLES A

CHILD AND LEARNING.

- I ESPECIALLY APPRECIATE THE EFFORT HERE TO GET US TO RECOGNIZE WHAT'S AT

THE ROOT OF THE AWFUL DIATRIBE AND DISCONNECTED DIALOGUE REGARDING SELF

ESTEEM, AND THE SUGGESTION WE COULD (OUGHT) RECOGNIZE AND UTILIZE THIS AS

ITSELF A LEARNING OPPORTUNITY, FROM WHICH WE COULD GO DEEPER, AND RATHER THAN

REJECT 'THEM AND THEIR ARGUMENTS,' INSTEAD CREATE OUR OWN DEEPER RESTATEMENT

OF WHAT WE MEAN BY SELF ESTEEM, AND THEREBY HOPEFULLY PUT ALL THIS ONTO A

SOUNDER HEALTHIER (AND HEALTH MODEL) FOOTING, FOR FUTURE ELABORATION, AND

HOPEFULLY PROGRESS TOWARD A MORE WIDESPREAD RECOGNITION AND APPRECIATION OF

THE NATURE AND DISPOSITION OF EACH CHILD.

- I'M ASKING JOSHUA HOLCOMB (WHO'S MANAGING OUR LEGACY PROJECT) TO CONSIDER

WHETHER WE MIGHT (OUGHT) SLIGHTLY RECAST OUR RESPONSE ESSAY, TO INCORPORATE

YOUR SUGGESTION.

- HERE'S HOPING WE WILL, IN OUR LIFETIME, FIND A WAY TO LEAD 'THE POWERS THAT

BE' INTO A HEALTHIER APPRECIATION OF AND APPROACH TO THE INNATE GOODNESS AND

LEARNING DISPOSITION OF EACH/EVERY CHILD!

JOHN
