visit with j-pza

just spent the evening with j-pza. such a good friend and great conversation. we spent most of the evening talking about the passing of our fathers. j-pza's father passed away this spring in april & my father march 2008. we spent a lot of time talking about our process and how we have navigated through this major change in our life direction. near the end of the conversation, j-pza mentioned his understanding of attachment and how that relates to clarity. through the passing of his father, j-pza gained an understanding to his relationship to attachment. letting go of his own attachment to his father dying from cancer and then allowing himself to total present for his own father's process of dying. this release of attachment allowed him to sit on the foot of his father's bed and listen to his father and not fight or be clouded his own attachment to the outcome. that has become his own clarity. his relationship to attachment and how it effects his life.

even in their passing, our father's are still helping us gain clarity in our lives.
