“In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest
where no-one sees you, but
sometimes I do, and
that sight becomes this art.”

hugging your dad

Why can't men tell their fathers how they feel?
Mike and the Mechanics comes to mind, they describe exactly how it is between fathers and sons in their song 'the living years'.
Even as I type this, I can feel someone cringing at the sight of this post and I bet that it is a son who does not know why he does not hug his dad either!
Growing up can be really funny. The shouting matches of teenage years -which can go beyond teenage, I guess- all seem like pointless territorial pissings when you look back.
Ironic that when you get to know your dad better, you are far away. The guy who used to be irritating and annoying at times now turns out to be a not-too-uncool friend. Well well, who ever thought THAT might happen...
Boy, would I have a fair share of fights with my children. Can see it all already...
One thing I know. For all my conscious effort to the contrary, I will not be hugging my dad at the airport when I see him. Can't tell you why though
