Eyes on the ground Soul looking towards the sky Guidance for my sons

"My dear sons! I have written these notes for you. When you were little, I thought to give you a guiding hand in the notes; now that you are grown, I think that the notes will strengthen you in judgment and wisdom. My childhood was only under supervision until I was 11, and then I always had to burn my finger first when I needed to be taught. Even adults are often hesitant and perplexed by certain questions in life, so how about young people? If death should overtake me, you will find in these notes my admonishing, watchful, thoughtful soul."
