Beautiful! I so loved hearing your magical voice deliver such realities! Sadly, your father sounds a little like mine, and with the passage of time and my own development, I have chose to focus on his best attributes.
Thank you for your kind comment on my voice, Robyn, and for sharing a bit about your focus when you think of your father. I believe it to be a very healing focus.
When I think of my father, I am in awe that we managed to heal our relationship toward the end of his life. Cancer and dementia brought him a much softer, gentler way of being. For the first time, we were able to deeply connect, which was quite a gift.
Terrific, Cathy. You take me to Max Planck, Nobel Prize winning Physicist in 1918, who said,
"When we change the way we look at things, the things we're looking at change."
I view the world in and through ongoing creation of which I am a small, infinitesimal part, nonetheless part. I am doing my part to co-create and collaborate with others who are kind, compassionate, caring, and sharing. Perceptions can change and so do we. The question I ask frequently is "What kind of change do you want?"
I love this, Gary - thank you so much for sharing! I agree with all you wrote and will add that we all have the power to bring change, to ourselves and to the world. We can choose to make that change positive or negative, so choose wisely.

Unicorns and rainbows are two of my favorite things. I believe the magical exists; we just have to trust ourselves to see it.
So well put - thank you, Joyce!

Or, Gary, be the change you wish to see ...
Just typed a version of that in an earlier comment, "Become the change you want to see." Becoming into being, and then doing.....Thanks, Mary
