But you’re right, we really have no clue about love until we are responsible for shaping the mind of a tiny growing human. And it is heartbreaking to think of the delicacy of the life that the universe entrusts you to handle with care, affection, direction and leadership.

But the karma you seek is all around you. It grows you and, in turn, you grow it. It’s that simple. Simple but difficult. And therein lies the fruit of your hard work.

Plow and eat well!

With a 22yo and 20yo who have had there fair share of learning about life by living it I’ve often used you approach of “I know, honey - it’s hard. Sit down, let me make you some coffee and we can talk about what’s next, ok?” As you say it works much better than “I told you so”.

A wise friend once share with me the mantra that helped her raise 2 adults - “The wisdom of the universe resides within my children and they will be alright”.

Take care
