Little book of Parenting
For months the pot was empty gathered trash
One day I found two very weak plants and put them in a pot and filled with water
For a few months nothing happened, I put a third pot and a few seeds
Every morning I used to refill and shower the pot with water
But nothing changed or shifted
One day a tiny bud emerged , but even that took a month to bloom
My only job in these eight months was to water , refill and ensure sunlight
Parenting life and leadership sutra
The flower will bloom in its own time
My Reflections
1. Can I be equally patient with my child
2. Can I be equally patient with my work
3. Can I be equally patient in my relationships
4. Can I just focus on providing water and sunlight
5. Can I accept and surrender that some seeds may not bloom , but I have a garden to tend
6. Can I accept that some trees will just have leaves, can I not compare and celebrate what is
7. What areas in my life come under points 5 and 6
This has been my journey with nurturing Yajat and Yashaj my sons and my water Lilly pond.
Love n light
