Went into a quick meditation earlier in the day, God it was funny I couldnt stop laughing, who was waiting to say Hello..my two dads 😄
I have my biological father, and my step father, my adopted dad was Dutch, full blown Dutch from the cloggs to frugalness 😆
My Dad dad was Maori, European mix with native american and alot of others to many to list, he was a good mix of hearty lines, he loved NZ and he showed this everyday by wearing stubbie shorts, sports socks, and sneakers, thats right stubbies 😆 and I swear the only time I seen dad wear long pants was at weddings, all the way through winter we would see dads legs 🦵 in stubbies, socks, and sneakers, and with a full head of dark double crowned thick head of hair, which we all thoroughly talked about to him when he was living his last days, we touched his hair and told him that we all hope we still had hair like him at his age.
Anyway I was starting a meditation and those two fellas rock on in one dancing playing the spoons (Dutch dad) and as the other walked in all I could see was socks first with the black and red bands at the top of the socks, then sneakers, then stubbies then the laughter feeling coming at me, the two of them were cheering me up, it worked I couldnt stop laughing uncontrollably.
I remembered growing up watching Dad John playing all kinds of instruments but when he took off it was on the spoons and harmonica the spoons always got me laughing cause he didnt just move the spoons making music he moved his whole entire body it was out the gate, with the harmonica around his kneck waiting to be played in exactly the same way.. and when he wasnt doing that he was active with sports, and building (master builder by trade)
And Dad dad (David) he had ADHD i swear that man never sat down always on the go, if he did sit down it was to talk about everything worldly such as the government, the elite, space, ufos, spirituality, religion, Ngapuhi, Waitangi, history, boats, deep sea discoveries, ancient civilizations, tunnels underground, nature, natures spirit, survival, hunting, and so much more.
He was always building, always building everything..planting everything, growing everything, and always holding a Bible in one hand while scampering off in his shorts to salt the roasted peanuts a bit more in the oven, coming back and then finding evidence to back up his preaching he was centre stage like no one else, taking the stage was one of his many talents. Both my dad's were very capable men at most things in life.
Anyway these were the only pictures I could find, im not near my photos to find Dad wearing what I seen so for now this wil do.
What a great start to a great meditation.
Laughter is always good for the soul no matter whats happening around you at the time, and no matter whats going on for you right now, I hope you always find time to laugh 😊
(I could write so much more about these two men but you would be here forever because when i start writting sometimes I dont know when to stop)
