Father's Day was just celebrated and I found myself reflecting on my deceased father's life with me in mind. I felt around many painful and powerful ideas that struck me about him and me. As I pondered, I heard via my soul the words, "Father is a Verb" and I wrote a poem with this in the forefront of my exploration. Fathering is not easy. In this episode I share some historical facts that I recall about who my father was and how his life created me into the person I am as a life partner, father, friend and creative. Fathers are making it up as they go. They are action men with a silly switch. Welcome to this episode about fathering.
