POWER

Sometimes I try and explain to you how things that seem so critical, so all consuming and important to us right now in this moment are meaningless. I try to teach you that this life has so much more to it than whats in front of us every day.

Most times, I guess I speak the language of "Dad" and am easy to ignore because I'm not very good at it.

I've not seen more powerful evidence of my own insignificance in a long time than I've found in this image.
​
A mother, stricken with cancer, helpless against what biology has set as her fate, and a child helpless and clinging to the only thing it knows. A mother powerful against her fate, and a child instinctively trusting that this power will not be extinguished.

There is more beauty, more power and more truth in this image than I could ever put into a million words to share with you. Take a look, think about what it says to you, feel the reality in it, and know that in those moments when you consider other than yourself, these moments where you are diminished and small, you have touched what we are all here for, and you are at the best that you will ever be in this life. - Love Dad
