#If the kids are united meaning Patch
A few judiciously dropped seeds: sweet peas, sunflowers or cosmos on a bare patch of soil, topped with a pocket full of potting compost will transform a walkway for bees and passers by for the summer months ahead.
In our gardens naturally, but this might be a call for a little guerilla gardening in our wider neighbourhoods, particularly in the urban environment. This would be, therefore, an auspicious week to make the metaphoric literal by sowing flower or vegetable seeds wherever an empty patch of earth can be found. We sadly, often lose the carefree joys of childhood somewhere in the process of conditioning ourselves to become the adult person we believe ourselves to be.Īlthough he was no paragon of virtue, the artist Pablo Picasso had a couple of pertinent things to say about the vitality of childhood:Īs we Mooners are aware, new moons are opportune periods in which to sow the metaphoric seeds of our intentions in full confidence that they will bear a fruitful harvest in due course. This is the unavoidable learnt behaviour of our upbringing: a social and cultural education that becomes habituated as we make repeated life choices based on our preferences for things as mundane as footwear and beverages or, more crucially, relationships.Īs we age, we have a more extensive past from which to draw those preferences and expectations and yet.and yet.we still end up making childish blunders without any of the compensatory benefits of playful joy. Spending time with children, whether our own or those of others, remind us of the playful creative energies inherent to childhood: vivid imagination, living in the moment, acceptance, vitality, excitement, enthusiasm and the unbridled joy of exploration.Īs adults, we regularly limit our fields of potential experience through our life expectations, expectation being the ultimate source of most disappointment. Even when applied to partaking in sport, the adult world tends to take playing much too seriously, to the point where it abuses the original definition of the word: to have fun. Play is a verb very few adults allow themselves to exercise in day to day behaviour. Fancy dress followed by jelly and ice cream with the under 5s may well be the rave we're all looking for. This would be a very good weekend to hang out with the newer kids on the block. If that party feeling doesn't float the collective boat, somewhere in the coming week we should still take time to connect with kin - the olds and the newbies in particular. Taurus loves to party but places even more importance on family, so if we can mix them together it promises to be a weekend to remember. This may well be the Saturday night to party with your tribe but the vibe is likely to be chilled rather than full on. "If the Kids Are United" also features on many other compilation and live albums, and it has been covered by many artists and bands such as Wat Tyler, Rancid, 7 Seconds, Oi Polloi, DJ Paul, Angelic Upstarts, Red Alert, Bérurier Noir, Sham Pistols, The Kids, Les Ramoneurs de Menhirs, Mama's Boys, Atari Teenage Riot, The Duke Spirit, Jarvis Cocker, and Pluramon.We hope our message finds you well at this Celtic festival of Beltane, soon to be followed by a new moon in Taurus on Saturday night, just before midnight. The CD single is designed to resemble a sawtooth. Released as a single in 1992, it features Jimmy Pursey as a guest musician.
