Kids are naturally curious about the world around them. Everything is fascinating and holds their attention as they explore their new surroundings. Adults however, have grown up hearing the word __o_, __on't do that,_ and __uit daydreaming so often, they create their own little world, a world with lots of limitations. What then do most adults teach to their children? __o_, __on't do that,_ and __uit daydreaming._ So, what can you learn from a child today_?

The Waves of Life Quotes and Daily Meditations

For the lady__ husband to become actively jealous was considered both doltish and dishonorable, a breach of the spirit of courtesy. Yet the record suggests that this was a fairly common occurrence and one of the occupational hazards of being a troubadour. The most famous crime passionnel of the epoch was the murder of Guilhem de Cabestanh, a troubadour knight whose love for the Lady Seremonda aroused the jealousy of her husband, Raimon de Castel-Roussillon. The story goes that Raimon killed Guilhem while he was out hunting, removed the heart from the body, and had it served to his wife for dinner, cooked and seasoned with pepper. Then comes the great confrontation:__nd when the lady had eaten of it, RAimon de Castel-Roussillon said unto her: __now you of what you have eaten?_ And she said, __ know not, save that the taste thereof is good and savoury._ Then he said to her that that she had eaten of was in very truth the head of SIr Guilhem of Cabestanh, and caused the head to be brought before her, that she might the more readily believe it. And when the lady had seen and heard this, she straightway fell into a swoon, and when she was recovered of it, she spake and said: __f a truth, my Lord, such good meat have you given me that never more will I eat of other.__Hen he, hearing this, ran upon her with his sword and would have struck at her head, but the lady ran to a balcony, and cast herself down, and so died._...the story is probably apocryphal_ grisly details...borrowed from an ancient legend...the Middle Ages believed it and drew the intended moral conclusion-that husbands should leave well enough alone. Raimon was held up to scorn while Guilhem became one of the great heroes of the troubadour epoch.
