Obvio, sí. Cliché, sí.
Pero no por eso menos cierto.
Obvious, yes. Cliché, yes.
But not less true because of that.
EL PROFETA - Khalil Gibran
Tus hijos no son tus hijos
son hijos e hijas de la vida
deseosa de si misma.
No vienen de ti, sino a través de ti
y aunque estén contigo
no te pertenecen.
Puedes darles tu amor,
pero no tus pensamientos, pues,
ellos tienen sus propios pensamientos.
Puedes abrigar sus cuerpos,
pero no sus almas, porque ellas,
viven en la casa del mañana,
que no puedes visitar
ni siquiera en sueños.
Puedes esforzarte en ser como ellos,
pero no procures hacerlos semejantes a ti
porque la vida no retrocede,
ni se detiene en el ayer.
Tú eres el arco del cual, tus hijos
como flechas vivas son lanzados.
THE PROPHET - Khalil 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.

ResponderEliminarwhat i was saying, is that at first i read your title as "ministry" and not mistery/mystery. ...which got me thinking about children's ministries, and i love that poem. i am reading "The blessing of a skinned knee" right now and one important thing she notes is that we have children not for self-serving purposes, but so that when we are gone, there are people here to continue to worship god (if you believe in god). the point is that our children really aren't our own. i am working to remember/understand this. <3
Super lindo y super cierto. Y importante saber - para los padres Y los hijos, cuando tengan más anos.
