Teaching our children well

Thankfully we have people teaching us and our children well. Thankfully we have people teaching us love. People inspiring us. People tapping in to our conscience. People helping us live. Not handing our lives over to others. People helping us be autonomous and vital. 

People making everything from cartoons to music to movies. 

Hopefully they are trying to reach our hearts—not our guts. Except when our hearts are in jeopardy.  Hopefully they are trying to empower us each and every one. Not getting us to hand over power right back to some bureau or ministry or parliament. 

What a responsibility!  What a charge!  I honor these people. They have been my best companion through my life. And yours too. They have been with you every night and weekend. They were at your coming of age. They were at your wedding. They will be at your funeral. They will be there when you are born again. 

I only pray they also have someone to teach them. I pray that they are enlightened. That is a lot to ask. They don’t have take this responsibility on. If they do, I hope they also educate themselves. We are clay. They are like god. May they have a potter too.
