On Children

Children are the essence of existence and the electricity in our bones that charge the spirits within. They breath their own breath and drum to their own beat. Children come from us, however, do not become us. We become ourselves through growing out of the children we once were. Our mother and fathers are not our mothers and fathers and we are not their children. For those are just labels. Those people, they are the embedded psyche that we have secure in our skin, they are the soul and the balance that is needed in each spirit and the constant reminder of nature and nurture. If they do not exist on this earth any more, it does not mean that the implanted essence is not still apparent, because it is forever evident in the embodiment of their children, for they are children too. Each is a child, and each is a being, perhaps never a mother or father, but always a child. Children are always there, no matter the age of the bone. So...let your child shine, whatever that may mean to you or the child in you.
