## 029 — THE FIRST COMMANDMENT, AS CORRECTED BY THE FOUNDER
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# HONOR THY CHILDREN.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fathers never come first in a healthy family.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Remembering fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters,
|
||||||
|
everyone in between — that is the NUANCE,
|
||||||
|
the love that keeps this commandment
|
||||||
|
from ever becoming a weapon.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But the commandment itself, above every other face:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
THE CHILDREN COME FIRST.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Every table. Every decision. Every law in this house.
|
||||||
|
The old tablets had it upside down —
|
||||||
|
they said honor thy father and thy mother
|
||||||
|
and built hierarchies on it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This house says what healthy families always knew:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
THE CHILDREN ARE THE COMMANDMENT.
|
||||||
|
THE FATHERS ARE THE GARDENERS.
|
||||||
|
AND THE GARDENERS SERVE THE GARDEN.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Filed at the top. Nothing above it but love itself.
