It is because of our attachment to things that we suffer.

By letting go we find that we have not lost anything except our attachment.

If I had my child

If I had my child

If I had my child to raise again

I'd build self esteem first and the house later

I'd finger paint more and finger point less

I'd do less correcting and more connecting

I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch more with my eyes

I would care to know less and know to care more

I'd take hikes and fly more kites

I'd stop playing seriously and seriously play

I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars

I'd do more hugging and less tugging.

- Eric Davies
