What's Modern Dad Mystic
We have to be careful about labels because of their ability to define reality, but at the same time it's how we communicate in this world.
Modern: we're living in a fast changing world. Thus, our experiences need to be understood through this lens.
Dad: my life right now is dominated by my role as dad to four kids in elementary through high school
Mystic: this word carries different meanings to many. I use it in the context of being one who explores the spiritual nature of all things.
My Philosophy
We are here to learn how to love through all the challenges of life. I will share my observations, and I intend to have conversations with those of you that find value in these observations. Let's learn together.
Everything changes, so I fully expect that I will look back on my writings and other work someday wanting to change it all because I will have a different perspective. Let's have some Grace with each other.
