This poem of Gibran's has always been my favorite, particularly
"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."
Parents really do need to be stable and not let themselves be jerked around by their children's impulsiveness, which is unfortunately what we are seeing happen now.
Hi Eva! It is a beautiful poem, thanks for posting. I wish I agreed with everything Gibran said, mostly I do, but there are some passages that bother me a bit and can easily be misconstrued and obviously the devious trans cult, as well as some well-meaning parents, have done so. Shame on them (the cult, not the parents, though the parents are misguided and may not realize it). Anyway, best wishes to you, keep up the good work! P.S. The rest of your article and thoughts are excellent (hope that goes w/o saying, but thought I should say it anyway!)
Of course they took something beautiful and corrupted it. They do it to children and they will certainly do it to a poem like this.
I present a quote we all know well from a well known Wizard. "Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."
