Started a new chapter of my life. Dedicating my time, career, efforts, to working with SEN students at a school specialising in autism and complex needs. This worlds needs to be led by more kindness and care. The people who most need it are usually the ones most neglected. 🙏

Lord I ask you to watch over her. Protect her in her walk. Help her to thrive. I pray she finds peace and serenity in wherever she is. Help her to see you, see that she is not alone. I pray that people are good to her and lift her up high. I ask that you help me to have clarity to be happy for her.

What is a friend if we cannot be happy for them? What does God call us to be if not to accomplish that? It hurts at the onset when it’s not us. Time being that great equaliser heals all. And in the clearing we see the friend we always wanted. And the friend in ourselves we always wanted to be.

I am one with the sea
The captain of my soul
And when I look upon the waters
Glistening and deep
I wade into them
Calling out for the storms to take me
Take me to the far off place
And upon arrival
A step at the edge of the world
I reach discovery with new eyes
The captain of my soul
And when I look upon the waters
Glistening and deep
I wade into them
Calling out for the storms to take me
Take me to the far off place
And upon arrival
A step at the edge of the world

I will want for her happiness. I will take joy in her joy. I will wish for her to discover a life that she wants. I will pray for her protection. I will give of what I have so she has what she needs. I want the best for her so badly. To feel heard, seen, understood, cherished, and loved. I love her.

I finally realize my limerence. Overly attached. Preoccupied in every thought. Considering a possibility of an inability to form genuine connection. I wake up, every morning, thinking she’s still here. And every day feels anew to discover this reality. So how can I heal? If I can’t feel time?

Giving a masterclass session to my daughters class was so much fun. Brilliant questions asked like “what keeps you working hard after long days?”, to the awesomely absurd “who’s the worst celebrity you’ve worked with?” (Justin Bieber). Or “what did Taylor Swift say to you?” (Not telling). 😎

I know what a greater fool is. And I would rather be a greater fool, and fall over and over again, than to succeed in taking from others along the way. There is more honor in that.

I realize, even when 10 years go by. 20 years go by. I will still love her. Will still be ready to be a good friend to her. Would be there if they needed help. Time heals. And no amount of time can diminish what they mean to me. So I hail Mercury, and walk the tears of Zeus. At least they will know.

Producing secret project on citizens assemblies. Curiosity fueling the great question: do we truly want others to benefit? To benefit as we benefit? If one of us survives we all survive? Do we take joy in the joys of others? That is how radical collaboration succeeds don’t you think?

Being a dad is best part of my life. I take my daughter everywhere. At 11 years old she has been to 15 US states and in a few months her total will reach 20 countries. Raising a girl who feels loved, heard, listened to, seen, understood is my ultimate mission. Any sacrifice is worth it. Grateful.
