tao te ching 10

As They Are

When you are with your children
be one with them.
Let every part of your body relax
and become as supple as your child's.
Allow all expectations and ancieteies to melt away
so that you can see clearly.
Love them as they are
in this very moment.
without needing to change a thing.

When their lives are filled with trouble
allow events to unfold
without pushing or staining,
and you will understand clearly
what your role should be.

You nourish them without possessing them.
You guide them without controlling them.
You help them without worrying.

*Being with your children can be like meditating
When you are with your child next,
forget the past,
forget the future,
and let your mind and heart come
to be where your body.
