The phrase you're referencing — "The child came through us, not from us" — is a paraphrased version of a famous idea from Kahlil Gibran, a Lebanese-American poet and philosopher, from his book The Prophet. The original quote is from the section titled “On Children”, and it goes like this:
"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."
Meaning:
Gibran emphasizes that:
-
Children are individual beings with their own paths.
-
Parents are vessels, not owners.
-
Love and guide your children, but do not try to control or possess them.
Would you like a deeper interpretation or help applying this concept to something you're working on?
