Halcyon tempo -
Walking with calm awareness.
Truly gentle man.

Happy Birthday Daddy.
πŸŒ πŸŽ‡πŸŽ†

My beloved father gave me a tremendous start to life here on Mother Earth. He taught me to hear and then to listen. He taught me to look and then to see. He was not perfect, but he was continuously striving and then holding his own feet to fire. In this striving - he taught me through example; accountability.
Through the schools, I was taught data. Through my father, I learned to feel and be at-one with my world.
The word ‘gentleman’ is thrown about and given like cheap candy to any number of male adults. For my father the term is much more than a title given without real thought or intent. Gentle man was and continues to be appropriate title for my father. My father was a gentle – man.
With gratitude for my dear earthly father.
With gratitude to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with my dear daddy.

There is no school equal to a decent home 
and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent.”
