D.M.Rice Thinking out Loud!

This is me, thinking! If you want to hear what I am thinking... read on!If by chance, I help you in your day... that is great!

My gramma taught me, ( and I believe it to be a very good lesson): "There are people in the world that believe they need something from you, when in reality they need something from within themselves. It is not your job to make them feel better, when they need to find out what is going on inside themselves."

Please respect all copyrights.Thanks!

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 our 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.
