A MEDITATION ON IDENTITY, CULTURE, AND HEALING IN CHILDREN
SEPARATED FROM ORIGINAL FAMILY Millions of our world's children are
forced through the curtain of separation from original family.
Among the numerous causes are poverty, abuse, neglect, natural
disaster, epidemic, immigration, incarceration, addiction, war,
genocide, oppression, and child labor. While each experience is its
own, all such separations cleave the child heart and mind into a
common root wound of vacancy and drift. In the face of such
woundedness, our children have the power for healing and growth
waiting within them. Every aspect of their lives is affected by an
often solitary quest for beauty and belonging. We who raise and
serve these displaced young, through our embrace, are a vital
factor in their ultimate healing. Jaiya John has shared time with
thousands of uprooted children through his human relations work.
Reflection Pond offers us his personal meditation, a looking glass
for what these youth have whispered into his spirit. They have
shared their need for reflection ponds: people, places, and
experiences through which their own beauty and purpose are
reflected back to them. Through allegory and parable, poetry and
prose, Jaiya John draws from the natural world around us to unveil
the magical inner life of children and youth. Here is a revelatory
positioning of the human mirror. In its face we glimpse
magnificence.
