Fatherhood & Important Places

This video takes my breath away. If you are interested in ripping your emotions out of your chest, watch in full screen and consider the words. They pour from the narrator's mouth like lyrics from a loved, childhood song.

The thoughts are poetic, magical, and surprisingly gut-wrenching.

Even if you only listen to the poem for the first 45 seconds, your time will be well-spent.

Just hearing the reminder matters - we never forget the path back to the important places. "The thing that brings joy to my life has been with me a long time."

Do you relate to this truth?
