Status Updates From The Parent's Tao Te Ching: ...

"Perhaps the most courageous act/of any parent's life/will be that moment/when, even though it breaks your heart,/you stand aside/and let your children/take the natural consequences/of their actions."

"If you look to your children/to provide meaning for your life,/your life will be meaningless./If you need them to be successful to feel successful yourself.//Your children were not born/to complete your life./They were both to complete their own."
