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.
