“Our children are our continuation.  We are our children and our children are us.  If you have one or more children, you have already been reborn in them.  You can see your continuation body in your son or your daughter, but you have many more continuation bodies as well.  They are in everyone you have touched.  And you cannot know how many people your words, actions and thoughts have touched.”

Thich Nhat Hanh, No Death, No Fear
