Ok, so it’s no where near Fathers Day, but I think its about time we take a moment and think about them, these fathers of ours…

Now, I don’t know what your relationship is like with your father. He may been the man that deserves the ‘Best Father in the World Award’. He may be a fireman, a businessman, a preacher, a DIY guy, the stay-at-home husband kind, or just a sperm donor? So what ever he his - good or bad, lets take a moment and be thankful that he is one half of the reason you are here (reading this blog)!

My father is a thinker, a problem solver and a scholar of light and dark. I have been spending some time with my father lately (which is obviously the inspiration for this post). It has been an enlightening experience - excuse the pun! (the majority of our conversations these days are lengthly talks about fermions and bosons and dark matter, in lay persons terms its about astrophysics.)

Although we don’t always take the same thinking path to reach our mutual conclusions, and we fight a battle or two along the way, I am learning to see the light in the darkness. I am learning that they way he reacts to things is simply a mechanism of protection, because he too, is a simply sensitive guy. And we are more alike than we know!

If I have a problem - he is my go-to-guy. Sure, battles are fought, but we fight on the same side of the war at the end of the day.
If you open a dictionary, he is not the picture you will see next to “father” - but who saids thats a bad thing? My dad has afforded me many things in my life. He is a very big part of the reason I am who I am today (whether by defiance or acceptance). He is who he is. He is my father, and I love him! He is one half of the reason I am here today (writing this post).

Once upon a time, A (free) neutron shuddered and shaked in a moment of dark matter set free two little bits of a magic - a proton and an electron. And together they took over the universe. From darkness comes light…

I know most of you are going “What the hell?” That’s ok because this is not about my unconventional analogies of my relationship with my father, its about your conclusions with yours. Take some time today and think of a your dad and how he affects your story.

While looking for some old documents, I came across a postcard of an artist whose work I fell in love with while travelling through the America’s in 2006. From the moment I first saw his work in a Santa Fe gallery I was inspired. Inspired in what exactly, I have no idea. But there was defiantly a defining shift in my being. Having just experienced the same soul shifting looking at the card, I am once again inspired. This time I may actually use the inspiration. His name… is St Victor.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do…
check out more of his work: www.stvictordiaries.com

Have you checked out Polyvore? It’s a great site that you can play “inspiration-inspiration”.

I came across it thanks to the ever delightful [Kim Gray}(http://www.kimgray.za.net/).

Here is my inspired moment. Its called “My African Dream”
