WORDS, each letter speaks its meaning… sounding the spirit of BEING...PARENT…one to be guided by the call for …

                       Protection

                         Appreciation

                                   Revelation

                                      Evolution

                                                 Nurturance 

                                                      Truth…

This Dear Parent, onto SELF, this an ever present quest, an ever present intention, an ever present knowing, an ever present doing. All that is LIFE  anew, given to the guardianship of love,  awaits support, validation, and a spirited belief in the right to envision, the right to imagine, the right to dream, the right to BE, Birth Eternal. See and know your CHILD as the expressive spirit of Creation, Harmony, Inspiration, Love, Deliverance.

As a parent, and now as a grandparent, words that speak the heart here proclaimed…the words of Kahil Gibran, 1883-1931, Poet, Painter, Sculptor, Writer, Philosopher, Theologian, Visual Artist, author of "The Prophet."

On Children
Kahlil Gibran

"Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to 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.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.”

The ARTFUL Parent

When what is not yet seen be known...

“In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it.”

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni[1] (6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet, and engineer.

Setting free the figures that were sleeping inside the stone is a guiding metaphor for us as parents to set free the potential that is within the core of our child's BEING.
