Father/Mother Goddess today I ask you to grant all fathers the strength to be vulnerable in love, to be present in pain, to kiss when tempted to cut/ to hug instead of to hit/to hurt instead of to rage/ to surrender instead of to control.May we the men of this world one day come to know our own inner power & rebuke violence. May we learn to celebrate our softness & enshrine our vulnerability. May we learn to forgive our fathers for who they could not be, so that we can be the love that we are needed to be now.
