Your children are not your children.<\/p>\n
They are the sons and daughters of Life\u2019s longing for itself.<\/p>\n
They come through you but not from you,<\/p>\n
And though they are with you they belong not to you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,<\/p>\n
For they have their own thoughts.<\/p>\n
You may house their bodies but not their souls,<\/p>\n
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.<\/p>\n
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.<\/p>\n
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.<\/p>\n
You are the bow from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.<\/p>\n
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrow may go swift and far.<\/p>\n
Let your bending in the archer\u2019s hand be for gladness;<\/p>\n
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
To sum up, this entire journey of Love class has been wonderful, with lots of learning and sharing from my group. Thanks a ton to Nayna Ma’am and Anita ma’am for the patience and concern that you’ll have shown us throughout.<\/p>\n
