6/16/2024... Father's dae Insights

I don't care to speak openly in this time of my life because society does not support and value genuine reciprocity. But I do know that in order to receive, you must also give. I am just learning how to effectively do that ...lol.

Anyhow,

I been thinkin' bout this Father's dae, and I had mixed feelings. There's a bitter taste to it because of society's mental conditioning, my own life experience, and what I see all around me. The negative aspect is the deterioration of family values and community structure.

At some point we all have to look at ourselves and the role we play in the uplifting, maintaining, or destruction in our families and communities. Just like many people today, I didn't have the luxury of a consistent father figure in my life. There are no hard feelings because I innerstand. I made peace with it long ago. Its just truth, and the truth is what it is. Each person in a relationship is ultimately responsible for the outcome of the relationship.

The positive is that I am grateful for the men who cared for me regardless of circumstances.

The only thing that bother's me is my son's yearn for his father. Seeing his peers with their fathers still pokes at that tenderness in his heart. That's a position that I could never fill, and could only hope that he would eventually heal himself and appreciate the men who positively contribute to his life.

For the fathers out there, this Fearie tells should be confirmation to how much you are appreciated and needed, even if you don't get the recognition that you deserve. Your actual presence speaks volumes, and it is felt.

Happy Father's Dae!

Side Bars:

This is a memory of me, my sister Leilani, and our grandfather Baxter Moore. Me and him used to go to the amusement parks and ride the coasters together. He demonstrated to me that a key to the fountain of youth, is to have a healthy relationship with your inner child. His story taught me to love, laugh, and watch my diet. He would always tell me to read my bible and I am glad that he did because I now know that it was A gateway to spiritual development.

Honoring our predecessors is recognizing their good werks and pitfalls so that we can move forward and make better strides for ourself, our families, our communities, our society, our counties, and thus our world.
