As i grow older, i find an understanding of my father that i have never had at any time before in my life. its obvious to me now that it took that long for ME to mature enough to understand his complexities.
and in the same instant, i feel that with my understanding of the world today, as well as my awareness spiritually and metaphysically, i am able to enlighten HIM.
something proved to be newly awakened within both of us today as we spoke on things you would imagine 2 wise old timers in the park would converse about, as they methodically played a game of chess. politics, spirituality, common day to day events, and what the future holds, where we stand in the universe.
i realized, i never spoke that way with my father before,and that i never understood his perspective....when in reality, he knew exactly what i know now, wayyyy before i even existed as a thought.
im inspired to see what we learn from each other in future conversations and interactions, what wisdom we gain...

who ! I'm happy for you.
It's very important in a relationship and most important with our parents.
I don't have this problem with my parents, i understand their feeling, their view of life... Even if i'm not always ok with them. But i know there is so much thing i don't know about them yet. And i hope i will know in the future.
ay man same here. its funny id been partyin up in miami (college) and was always shroomin or high as shit for a while till some shit went down. me nd my folks got to talking bout real life nd shit from there (now 20). turned out my dad used to push weight nd do the 70s playboy thing nd it got me to wonderin why he was the way he was raisin me up...strict, disciplinarian, etc...we got to enlighten each other bout shit, like hippy shit id been thinkin bout ALOT at the time "come out the pussy all the same--kickin, screamin, defenseless--why is that we're all different? systems man, systems."
