The One Who Knows

I am reading a fabulous book called "How to Raise an Adult".  It's giving me lots to think about; changes we can make now (including assigning chores!!! and more outdoor, unstructured play time) to ensure our kids are set up for success to venture off on their own day. To quote a quote from the book:
Before the mountains
call to you, before
you leave, this home
I want to teach your
heart to trust, as I
will teach my own
But sometimes I will
ask the moon where
it shined upon you
last
And shake my head and
laugh and say, "it all
went by so fast."
- Singer/Songwriter Dar Williams, "The One Who Knows", from the album The Beauty of Rain.
