Adulthood


The disciple was forever at his prayers.

The Master said, "When will you stop leaning on God and stand on your own two feet?"

The disciple was astonished.

He protested, "But Master, you are the one who taught us to look upon God as our father!"

The Master sighed.

"When will you learn that a father isn't someone you can lean on

but someone who cures you of your tendency to lean?"
