But the one thing we do know is that, just like us, dad only ever wanted to be happy, to be free from suffering, and was only able to use the tools he had been given to take the journey that was his. We may never understand the nature of dad\u2019s journey, the unique pattern that unfolded as his life, somehow orchestrated in the stars, to unveil to him the mysteries of love.<\/p>\n<p>Whether dad is still on this earth or the beloved has sent him elsewhere, it is possible for you to fully connect with him right here, right now, for he is alive inside every cell of your heart; no matter what has happened in the past, he has given you something important for your journey. May we honor dad on this day in all of his guises, in all of his forms \u2013 personal and transpersonal \u2013 and may we be guided by his wisdom qualities down that pathway that he and all beings have laid out for us.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1261\" src=\"https:\/\/manyvoices.soundstrue.com\/manyvoices\/wp-content\/uploads\/father9.jpg\" alt=\"father9\" width=\"296\" height=\"318\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let us hold all fathers in our hearts today, in gratitude for the gift of life they have given.
