Do
not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving
may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them
instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show
them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to
cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the
touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them. The
extraordinary will take care of itself.
