Children

A friend of ours named their cutie baby Arrow and it remined me of this passage:

"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."

-The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran

And here's a link that reminds me of Jeff's take on parenting ;)
