In my minds eye
You see you have to be careful
Bearing with him
He really thinks of you as sympathetic
Putting ideas in your mind
Putting ideas in your heart
Anything you wish
In Spirit we are stronger than blood
Long walks to wander for hours
They take care of things
Awake
Awake
Awake
Nothing will change us

Today is a reminder that we must do our best to love one another as best we can and to even better try to understand that those that love us love us the best way they know how. One thing I realized as my father moved into the depths of Alzheimer’s, was that throughout my life he did what he could, within his power at the time, to love me. Now it may not been how I pictured it, wanted it or how the world paints that father child relationship, but it was the best he knew how.
Knowing this allowed me to accept him for who he was, which was something I wanted for myself, as well as allowed me to let go of the hurt from not having that kind of relationship and love him as who he was. It was the moment when I released my disappointment and accepted the fact that everything he did, and he did a lot, he did because he loved me.
This is the key to a healthy and loving relationship with a parent. We must understand that we all love in the only ways we are capable of loving in that very moment. We must remind ourselves that they are doing their best and that we should do our best to love them as they are, for all they are and with an open and giving heart.
So today, I honor my father for all he was, what he did, and for his love. I realize that we must honor what we have while we have it trying our best to forgive, let go and have faith that those that walk our path with us are doing the best they can. In this, we will find ourselves in the act of loving. In this, we will find a quiet heart.

There are many things I am grateful to my mother for, but the one thing I am most thankful for learning and for being the recipient of was her faith and belief in me to follow my heart. I would not be doing what I do for a living, traveling the world and making great work if it was not for her continued support to learn new things while following my heart path.
I believe the graciousness that came from her is one of the most significant factors in my development as well as my happiness. Although I struggled to fight for my path with my father and with those around me, she was always there encouraging me on to keep on moving in the direction of my dreams. Although she may not have understood them, accepted the people who walked the path with me or could comprehend my contemporary practices, she still, despite not quite seeing where I was heading, supported my journey.
This is quintessentially what loving someone unconditionally is all about. This support, energy, belief and love, is what I have learned most and carry with me always. She taught me to keep on moving forward, or in whatever direction I needed, in order to follow the whispers of my heart. In doing so, without question, she taught me to keep faith, maintain determination, and let the water wash off the back even if you have to swim upstream.
She did all of this unconditionally and without question because what was more important to her than living her dream of who she wanted me to be, she preferred I become who I am. I am grateful for her conviction, courage and unconditional love.
Thank you mom for the blessings and beautify of this life as well as for the gift of life itself!
Happy Mother’s Day!
