My daughter is a Taurus in every since of its definition. She was born in the spring, and with a will of iron, she started her life journey. At times, I was flummoxed as to what to do with her when she was very young. She was loving and talented and funny and bright and had a head like a rock. She wanted control from the time she popped out of my womb with such force the doctor almost dropped her. She was magnificent then, and she is magnificent now. However, we look at the world the same in some ways and very differently in others, which brings me to my dream.
We were together on a journey to who knows where, Nikky and I, and at the point I remember the dream vividly, we had reached a summit, quite high and steep. It was like a giant sand dune we had to conquer. We stood side by side and looked down the high, steep precipice. I felt, not dread, but a sense of peace, confidence. I had done this descent before. I knew that all I had to do was put my back to the cliff and dig my feet into the dense sand and somewhat slide my way down. I looked at Nik and was ready to direct her with my knowledge when she put her hands over her head in a motion used for diving into a pool and immediately plunged down the side of the cliff. I took off my way, anxious at first, for her safety, but soon realizing we had both landed securely at the bottom, and she had not broken her neck, as I had temporarily feared.
We have dreams for our children just as our parents had dreams for us, but our children are not us. If we teach them to be independent and set them free, they grow strong, survive well, and conquer sand dunes...head first. We give them our knowledge when they are young, and if we are smart, we learn from theirs as we grow older. God bless our children. They are the living dreams for our future.
Peace. Love, Linda
