A wave had its way with me during this morning's surf session, tossing me around like a rag doll that results in breaking my board in half, all because I hesitated for a moment and rode into the wave a few feet beyond the point that would have brought a smooth ride. This experience taught me a lot about my role as a father, in which I have waves of experiences with my children, but where I time my input will either make or break the perception that my children will have in their lives. The same wave that would have given me power, courage and joy is the same power that broke me. Similarly, when I become unaware of the timing my power as a father with children under my stewardship, I've realized that I the struggles that occur with our relationship comes down to guiding my children from a place of power that will break them instead of make them strong, powerful people of their own.
