Pennie Brownlee Quotes




"Do we stay silent in fear of our jobs, or do we join together and speak up for the good of our children?" ~Pennie Brownlee on investing in education for our children

"Every child is, at core, pure awareness. In their awareness they are like little sponges. They soak in all that is going on around them, with all of their senses. No one teaches them how to do this; it is part of being human. What they soak in will be the raw material from which they will draw when they are creating (in childhood and throughout their lives)." ~Pennie Brownlee, Magic Places

"Having rich experiences makes us rich. It wires up those precious brain cells. A rich experience is one that uses all of your senses, it is the real thing. " ~Pennie Brownlee, Magic Places

"Our Great Mother
Our blood is distilled form her watwts
Our bones are moulded from her elements
Our living body is spun from her harvest
Our soul is nurtured  by her beauty 
Blessed are the storytellers who remind us 
The Earth is our Mother."
~Pennie Brownlee 

"We have inherited an education system that [almost always] deprives our children from making a relationship with the earth, the sun, the wind, the streams, the hills, the trees, the flowers, the insects, the birds, the animals, … everything that goes to make up the Living Interactive System of which they are a part? Relationship in the real world is absent from [almost] every school curriculum, every school day, every school year. This tragic disconnect has brought us to crisis point, both in people's personal health and in the health of our Ecosystems." ~Pennie Brownlee

"You don't need to know the name of the bird to experience awe at its song, wonder at its gliding, and marvel at its nest making. Awe, wonder, and marvelling are 'core curriculum' for the child. Resist the temptation to turn creation into a bunch of 'facts' fit only for pub quizzes." ~Pennie Brownlee
