> THE FIRST FIVE OR SO YEARS YOU LAY THE FOUNDATION AND SET UP MUCH IN THE MIND OF THE CHILD. FROM THEN ON THE CHILD GROWS AND THE PARENT CONTINUES IN THE ROLL OF SUPPORT AND NUDGING THE CHILD THIS WAY OR THAT. GRADUALLY THE CHILD PULLS AWAY INTO HIS/HER OWN MIND AND CHOICES. THE PARENT REMAINS AS SUPPORTIVE AND SOME TIMES COUNSELOR(IF ASKED). THE IDEAL IS FOR PARENT AND CHILD TO INTERACT AND CONVERSE AS ADULT TO ADULT.

> THIS IS ALSO A PATTERN FOR OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP.

> BUT LIFE HAPPENS, FRAGMENTS, BLEEDS, CRIES. THERE IS LONELINESS, SEPARATION, RECONCILIATION, FORGIVENESS, HEALING, GROWING STRONGER IN THE BROKEN PLACES.

> AND AMAZINGLY YOU AND I COME TO OUR OWN AWARENESS OF THE 'WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE AND GET OUR FEET ON THE GROUND.
