they are so much more

They look so small and frail

but they are so great and magnificent. 

They are born of the same womb 

that birthed the cosmos

and knitted together the galaxies. 

If you could see them as they truly are, 

you would be astounded.

You would not see little children, 

but dancing clouds of light, 

energy in motion, 

swimming in an ocean of love. 

They are so much more 

than what you see.

As are you.

William Martin, The Parent's Tao Te Ching
