father’s day.

prior to becoming a father, i was a child.

in fact, i possessed many of the same characteristics of a toddler.  specifically, i lacked patience, it was “all about ME” and, if i didn’t get my way, i’d pout.  yucko.

since becoming a dad, i’ve become a man (although, i still get grouchy/moody when i’m tired.)

the other day, spiritual teacher @Eckhart_Tolle posted the following on twitter: To love is to recognize yourself in another.

i couldn’t agree more.

when i see myself in my kids (good/bad,) the “love” is so incredibly powerful, i can feel it in my chest (radiating, a la ET.)

i love my kids. in fact, sometimes the emotions are so strong, i get scared. whatever that means.

needless to say, father’s day 2009 was very special to me (my first as a father of two.)

an amazing, PACKED day which included brunch at the tractor room, an afternoon surf session with friends, and dinosaurJR @casbahsd.

i will never lose touch of how incredibly blessed i am…

happy father’s day, 2009.
