The River of Life and the Bonds of Family:

Nothing is more important than the bonds we have with our children, but these aren’t stagnant structures they are living, breathing dynamics. To get the most out of our relationship with our kids and to ensure solid bonds aren’t eroded with time we must embrace the growth they nurture in us as we do all we can to nurture them.

The ephemeral nature of life—the constant change from one moment, day, week, month, and year to the next—frees us from the oppression of our present conditions and the mistakes of the past.

Yet, it also takes from us what we’ve built. It challenges us to grow it into another form, more suited to another season, more optimal for a future time.

The joy of the moment is constantly under the pressure of the demands of the future, constantly afflicted by our oversights in the past. What we failed to account for then is biting at us now, and what we failed to sense about the future is already putting our relationships, precious moments, and present status of achievement at risk of dissolution.

Either it grows in accord with its essence, or it will wilt from being that which it is not.

Yet we love the forms of our lives, such as the small baby in our arms or the young adult budding before us, and we mourn the growth we ourselves work so hard to nurture.

We want to maintain such deep bonds and joyful times, where the little ones we recognize as the outward manifestation of our hearts actually want to spend their waking hours with us. They love us and want to learn and grow from us; and for teaching and nurturing them, we get the gift of becoming more and more obsolete.

If we fail to become more, then we fail to have more to offer. If our kids grow while we stay stagnant, they will one day look to us and wonder what they ever saw. We will yearn for a relationship they outgrew and a time when our love and nurturing were in demand.

When the pulse of your heart looks back at you with their little soulful eyes, make sure that it’s not taken for granted. Look back with the same vulnerability. Your children can take you to your true essence; they can launch a relationship of shared growth that evolves itself to the infinite expression of your eternal essences.

The chemistry between you and your individual children will spark something that is a living, breathing, dynamic vehicle for spiritual unfolding.

If you won’t go to that next level for them, they will be forced to unravel themselves without you. If you choose to be a dammed-up river, then their spirit must find a path more suitable.

Don’t let the temporal nature of life dissolve the eternal bonds of your spiritual family and the most transformative relationships you’ll ever have.

Our external hearts (our children) are here to expose things within ourselves that without them would lay dormant.

Like the sunlight, they bathe us in their love, and out comes the fruit of our essence.

If we remain true to them by taking responsibility for producing it, they too may find their way by our example. Instead of becoming obsolete, we can become the up-to-date operating systems on which they can continuously rely.
