Kahlil Gibran On Children


I saw my daughter off on another big "expoitition and adventure" this morning. It is so wonderful that she is making use of the opportunities that have been presented to her. I was married and in my late 20s when I first went overseas. In those days (during the apartheid era) it came as a huge cultural shock to be out of the country and the experience of freedom was quite dizzying. Travel is the most wonderful educator - it breaks down barriers and opens your mind to so much. Anyway, the words of Khalil Gibran found their way into my head after saying goodbye and I just wanted to share them.
