THE EXTRAORDINARY



Do not ask your children

to strive for extraordinary lives.

Such striving may seem admirable,

but it is a way of foolishness.

Help them instead to find the wonder

and the marvel of an ordinary life.

Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes,

apples and pears. 
    
Show them how to cry when people die.

 Show them the infinite pleasure 

in the touch of a hand.

And make the ordinary come alive for them.

The extraordinary will take care of itself.
