quote of the day

mama stumbled
across this quote
by kahlil gibran
of the prophet fame
and quite likes it
she says she must
make it her mantra
during the times
when it's my way
or the highway:







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.
