The Beauty in the Unending Process

Parenting is not about completing tasks or achieving a certain level of cleanliness, but rather embracing the unending process. Just as Buddhist monks create beautiful mandalas only to wipe them clean and start over again, parents should see their work as an ongoing masterpiece. The toys, clothes, and dishes will never be done or clean as entropy is always at work. Instead of feeling frustrated, parents should love the flow of chaos and growth, recognizing that being finished would mean the end of childhood.
