His Choices - Not Mine
Your children are not mere lumps of clay waiting for your expert hands.
They are the very energy of the universe and will become what they will become.
They are sacred beings.
If you tamper with them you'll make everything miserable.
They will find success and failure.
They will be happy and sad.
They will delight you and disappoint you.
They will be safe and at great risk.
They will live and they will die.
Stay at the center of your own soul.
There is nothing else you can do.
My son almost lost his life as a teenager. There was nothing I could do.
I remember accepting that he might die. I cried for hours. I got up and
returned to my life and to my loves. Years later he is a happy strong
wonderful young man.
All because of his choices. Not mine.
