Unknown beginnings
When you raise your children, you do not know what will ultimately be useful to them as they move into adulthood.
You make sure they have good morals and good manners, and that they have been exposed to art and literature, and that they know how to do their chores.
The world will interact with all that you have taught them.
They will pick and choose over what they keep and what they discard.
They will shape their lives in accord with their priorities and with the pressures which are coming at them from directions you never thought of.
And they will deal with their own lives.
The Universe is taking care of them just as It has been taking care of you.
Everything, ultimately, is unknown.
The best knowledge that we can have about our children is that they have the intelligence to deal with what comes up.
They have their friends, their job skills, their own ideals and priorities.
They have the ability to act and to make choices, and they will not be yours.
The world operates differently for them than it does for you.
It operates according to their perspective.
You may observe, but there is no need to get involved with the lives of your children.
Release them.
Discover what is important to you in your own, new, separate life.
Develop your own new skills and friends.
This is a time which no one talks about, at least not very much.
It is a new time in all of millennia.
The feminine role has changed magnificently.
There are things you can offer which no one has ever been able to offer before.
There are insights which you can bring which have never been seen before.
You are valuable in a new way to a new community.
So deal with your own formidable new life.
