THE HIDDEN MYSTERY OF THEIR BEING

Although you give your children names,
their reality is nameless and mysterious.
Their mystery is hidden,
yet plain to see.
If disappears when you stare at it.
It hides when you seek it.
To find it you must look into yourself.
If you can discover the secret of our own life,
you will glimpse the mystery of your children.
THough this mystery cannot be descied,
it can be trusted.
You can trust it in yourself.
You can trust it in your children.
How do I know this?
I see it everywhere.

*Imagine yourself as a child.
There was someone present there
your parents never know,
a mystery they could not fathom.
Look at your children closely.
You will never know the mystery of their being.
Can you love them still?
