This is a little break from my art posts, as I cam across this excerpt tonight and wanted to share the profundity of it. It's so true, and so easy to forget. Parents - honor your childrens truths.
"Your children and not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell
in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your
dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you."
- excerpt from Kahlil Gibran's book, the Prophet
