…”Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,

which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams…”

— Khalil Gibran (‘The Prophet’ 1923)

Lightning flash density – 12 hourly averages over the year (NASA OTD/LIS) This shows that lightning is much more frequent in summer than in winter, and from noon to midnight compared to midnight to noon.

On Bastille Day, I have to say I really think that the French Revolution unleashed far more evil and horror on the world than it purported to solve due to class inequalities. pic.twitter.com/QVm3g0lICT
