The Gift of Men & their sacred roles as Fathers

I wrote a few post back about what Gifts we as women truly are. It is such a beautiful thing that we as women are coming to know, to understand & live this truth more fully each day.

All women, even if they do not have any of their own children, are mothers. Its the very essence of how we are made & who we are. I love to see mothers, in any sense of the word, coming to know & celebrate their unique mothering style & movement. This truly is a beautiful thing!

Equal to this, is the Gift of men & their sacred roles as fathers. Again, just as women, men discovering & embracing their truth, including this sacred role they hold- regardless of if they have children of their own or not- is so vital to the health, wellness & well being, not only of themselves, but of those around them as well.

Study after study have been completed & documented about the importance & vital need of fathers. (Please keep in mind, that I am referring to the traditional role of the father in the home,AND also EVERY man that realizes & lives his truth & the indescribable gift he offers by his very presence, whether having children or not.) We see over & over the condition of individuals, marriages & families when a man has forgotten or does not know, nor honor who & what he is.

By that same token however, we are also seeing & experiencing what beauty unfolds in the lives of children, marriages, whole families, places of work, communities, etc., when these men learn, acknowledge & embrace their own truth. And in that, it naturally occurs that they also do so for their wives, mothers, children, etc. Its just the beautiful & natural way it works.

So how do you support the men in your life to do so? By seeing your truth & this truth of who & what they are. By creating opportunities for them to shine, you holding this truth, this vision of their truth, even if they cannot see it at the moment.

Miracles happen when one simply opens the space for, acknowledges & "holds" another in the light of truth. And the beautiful thing is, the more that you acknowledge & support another in their truth, you are naturally supported in your own. So enjoy this Gift....the Gift of you, of your spouse & the beauty that you literally create together, just by being you - learning, living & embracing the truth of who & what you each are.

Here is an inspiring & heart touching story of a man taking his sacred roles to heart.
