told that he was the man of the house now
he felt he had to do something; when the
engine was turned off, and being in the front
seat, he said “Daddy, can’t you just come back
home” and didn’t hear that it’s not as simple
as that because: he’d asked the adult question,
took responsibility (how it works…); this
is what Dads should not do, they should
come back because they are Dads; why
does this have to happen to us; and ten years
being a be-cowled and frustrated superhero
in a world where things just happen secretly,
he wondered (does it work); there was something
wrong, there are somethings wrong, in the world,
and there was definitely something wrong with
this 20th century, I am not sure there is a Man
of the House to be – the wall just sticks to my
foot when I swing to kick, my lungs are already
full when I breathe – and there
is no space; for
fifty years I have built this world toxic to my
sense of worth and undermined to my sense
of identity; there is nothing fruitful with
discontent in my heart as long as I cannot
step outside to see that it is not just about me;
the hurt which reaches for vindication must
release, the reach turned to love
supporating out of Bodhisattvacharyavatara Chapter VI – verse 10 … (when adversity strikes), if anything can be done about it what is the point in getting upset about it; if nothing can be done about it what is the point in getting upset about it.
