Madelainne Joss, an FM ning member sent this to me today, Father's Day, as she was also one of the members of the In Search of Fearlessness Community (Calgary) some 20 years ago:
Hey father of Fearlessness
I’m sending out this call
To all dads’ today
having a beer? at the mall?
What might you be thinking
Did you muster the gall
to give brith to your children
then lead — shove them
behind the fear-wall?
Consider some learning
what might've happened to you
Make the time to look back
and say it…..I was born in a zoo!
Its important to ‘ name’ it and
tend to the calls
of all the weird hap-nings
where life wasn’t a ball.
Where looks could kill
You thought you were dead
Where someone talked or ignored ,
treated you like she, he or you
had no head.
Do you see it?
The world's gotten messier
each and every new day
Please …..quit running
tend your healing
Start now—its your special day.
When all our behaviours
keep calling and are often ignored
It doesn’t serve any of us
we all learn to live poor.
We can thrive-- stay alive,
be connected, live well
Remain open and curious…….
Now wouldn’t this way work swell?
