It Is A Form Of Violence, To Not See A Being For Who He Or She Really Is. You Think, "oh, That's My Son." But The Lens, "my Son," Completely Obliterates The Multi- Dimensions Of That Being. Maybe You Only See Your Disappointments In That Child, Or You Aspirations For That Child, But That's Not The Child.

Wherever You Go, There You Are. Whatever You Wind Up Doing, That's What You've Wound Up Doing. Whatever You Are Thinking Right Now, That's What's On Your Mind. Whatever Has Happened To You, It Has Already Happened. The Important Question Is, "how Are You Going To Handle It?" .... Like It Or Not, This Moment Is All We Really Have To Work With.
