I'd like to dedicate this quote to all the amazing listeners here at 7cups. Even though we're still growing and learning as a community, there is a lot of goodness that this site provides. I know in recent days, I've seen a lot of negative feedback from members but I'd like to remind us all of why we are still here. We're here to learn and grow together and that is what we will do. Remember, April showers bring May flowers. We will persevere and our community will be bigger and better!

On Children
Kahlil Gibran
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
