		<description><![CDATA[Kahlil Gibran, in "The Prophet" said our children are Life's longing for itself.  On Mother's Day we can acknowledge the most important things we give our children are roots and wings.  Roots in accepting our children for who they uniquely are and then to teach them the courage and confidence to fly. <a href="http://lightbeam.org/2011/05/08/1465/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
