These
kids...
They
sure put a perspective on things,
don't
they?

Children
are our greatest treasure.
They
are the center of our lives,
our
anchor, our overriding priority. And yet,
children
are more than poetic metaphors for hope in the future.
They
are the real, practical investment
in
the further development of the species.
In
them, we celebrate life, continuity, all the possibilities
and
potential of our four million years of evolution.
Those
born into the plague of AIDS are special messengers,
confronting
unique and difficult challenges
with
courage and dignity.
We
must watch and listen closely, for they elevate us all
to
a higher level of compassion and understanding.
Through
our love,
we
arrive at a new sense of what it means to belong.
-Jean-Michel Cousteau
