If by some weird miracle I'm ever blessed with kids, like you I'd love to teach them to be present in the moment. There's real beauty in savoring the now & having a grateful heart that senses the beauty in the world deeply.

I'd also like to teach them how to be open-hearted, forgiving, resilient & about the positive selfishness of being good.

I'd like to foster "awake" children that don't go through the motions waiting for real life to begin, blindly lashing out & reacting to the world, but to see they are part of a whole & their actions have lasting consequences & they can influence the outcome of their experiences with their choices.

I guess I'd love to teach them to grok deeply & be joyous & playful.

It's unlikely they'll ever exist, but they sure would have been loved.
