TO MY CHILDREN
In your
lifetime you will come to know and learn much, incorporating data from
countless hours of listening, reading, and observing that will be rationally
filtered and tucked away to become part of who you are. But there is another way of knowing,
one that takes root in the heart and not the mind, a sense of knowing felt
deeply within your self. It may
come to you directly, out of the blue with no previous inclination of such, or
it may be something you have acknowledged in your head, but suddenly experience
at another level in a classic” Eureka moment”.
I want to
share with you what I have learned at that deeper level in the course of my
lifetime, knowledge gathered from many sources and validated by experience;
knowledge that has enriched my life.
You will read these words, but only when they reach your heart, when you
truly know them through your own experience will they provide you with wisdom
to navigate your own journey.
I am not so
presumptuous to believe that I am the only one who can tell you of these
matters. You will read and hear
from others much wiser and learned than me. And of course you will live through your own experiences,
folding into your own body of wisdom that which you choose. I write this because I have often been
helped by the words of others, and perhaps, in some way, these words will help
you.
