"The ways in which our past influences our present are indelible, yet paradoxically obstructed from plain view. That is why it takes someone so close for us to mirror our wounds from our past, which is the reason why our children are able to set us free. Unfortunately, we parents don't allow them to fulfill their spiritual purpose in life. Instead, we seek to make them fulfill our egoic plans and fantasies." (pg.19, Tsabary)
Cited from Sophie's book club reading for August.
