A Mother’s Wish for Children
I want something. Something good. And important. For Children.
It costs $200 million dollars.
Impossible, right?
The Buddha said, “Love each person as if they were your own child.”

“You loved me more when I was a baby,” said my seven-year-old son Walker as we looked at our family album.
I nuzzled his hair, and said, “I adore you more every day. I loved how cozy you were then, but now you’re able to talk. You can read to me, and I don’t have to change your diapers.”
Walker seemed satisfied with my incomplete answer. I turned off his bedroom light and went back to the photos. There he was, newborn, in a penguin pantsuit with matching cap. His skin looked red and blotchy, and his eyes were shut. At six months, he was still bald, but smiling, like a wise Buddha. At two, he had long wisps of yellow hair and clutched a Thomas the Train.
