Children

(Kahlil Gibran)

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
And He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far
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

Cara Alam Menghibur Kita


Pernahkah kita mengalami ketika hujan deras mengguyur, kita
lupa membawa payung. Lalu kita pun berbasah kuyup kedinginan.
Namun, ketika kita siapkan jas hujan, justru panas dan terik
datang membakar hari. Sebalkah anda?

Atau mungkin kita pernah terburu-buru mengejar waktu, tetapi
perjalanan malah tersendat, seolah membiarkan kita terlambat.
Namun, ketika kita ingin melaju dengan tenang, pengendara lain
malah membunyikan klakson agar kita mempercepat langkah.
Sebalkah anda? Mengapa keadaan seringkali tak bersahabat?
Mereka seakan meledek, mengecoh, bahkan tertawa terbahak-bahak.
Inikah yang disebut dengan "ketidakmujuran"?

Sadari saja, itu adalah cara alam menghibur kita. Itulah cara
alam mengajak kita tersenyum, menertawakan diri sendiri, dan
bergurau secara nyata. Kejengkelan itu muncul dari kerena kita
tak mencoba bersahabat dengan keadaan. Kita hanya mementingkan
diri sendiri. Kita lupa bahwa jika toh keinginan kita tidak
tercapai, tak ada salahnya kita menyambutnya dengan senyum,
meski serasa kecut, tak apalah.
