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.
