Reflective Poem by Emil Koval #582
Sitting In My Walker And A Warm Evening
Awaiting The Rising Of The Full Moon.
Lone Planes Flying In The Early Evening Sky
Appearing To Be Stars Crossing The Night.
Waiting For The Rising Of The Full Moon
As Gentle Breezes Caress Me As I Wait.
Soon The Bright Orange Moon Appears.
Rising Steadily Silhouetting The Trees
Clouds Attempt To Obscure Its Magnificence
Pleasing My Essence In Their Failed Attempt.
The Moon, The Cosmos, And I Are One.

Koval’s Parable 114:
Milan, while waiting for the full moon to brighten the evening sky, a young couple approached him seek advice about children. Milan reminded them of the words of Kahlil Gibran, ‘Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer (your faith deity) sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.’ Then Milan commented, ‘Remember that your children and your partner are gifts from the cosmos. They exist in your life to help you learn to grow personally and spiritually. They may create happy moments and sad moments with lessons for all of you to learn. They are not possessions to be controlled or manipulated. You can watch them fall down and you can help them get back up, but you first have to let them get back up by themselves and help them when they ask you for help. Have you ever noticed that once a child falls down, he or she does not cry immediately. They turn around and look at the parents face. If the parents show shock and fear, that sends the child a signal that there is something wrong creating an alarming cry. If a child falls down, you help them get up and ask how she or he is doing. If he or she is okay, then you all move on. Of course, if the child is injured, you take that child to receive First Aid. Too many parents overprotective today. Too many parents refuse to let their children grow the way they need to grow.’ Milan pointed out the you, as a parent, is to help your child to think for themselves, and to be self-sufficient, and how to make good karmic choices. One final question Milan asked them, “If your children overdependent on you, who will take your place after you have transitioned.” The couple were in deep contemplation as Milan smiled and turned to watch the full moon rise.
