The Purest Gold

Almost 40 years old. Done the Vision Quest. Been on the Mindfulness Meditation Retreat. Lived alone in a cabin in the woods Thoreau-like for months on end. Travelled Gypsy-like across the United States. Played in a Rock-n-Roll band. Written a couple of books that have been published.
I have chopped the wood and carried the water.
And now I have been a parent for nearly 2 years. What I can honestly convey to you--with all of my Heart--is that there is nothing that compares in depth and profundity to being a parent. Of course you will freak out, experiencing all sorts of anxiety and psychological tremors. But most important of all your Heart will warm up to such a degree that the coldest chill in all of Eternity will not faze you.
It is inexplicable and irreplacable.
The Mystics can't touch it...
...far too ordinary... and way too obvious.
A Mother...
A Father...
