parents' day; life's longing for itself

“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.” – Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
Affirmative prayer: Today, I celebrate Parents’ Day, thankful for the generative and unconditional love of mothers and fathers, and for the capacity of children to receive this love and empowerment. I am one with this creative, life-giving and life-sustaining energy, and I carry it into my dreams, my endeavors, and to that which calls me to wholeness. Amen.
