But in you, there was that glow and a coat of Indigo. Problems will come and go In my coat of Indigo (Pendragon)

Wie geht's?

I spoke in the previous post about moving closer to my father via the creation of this blog. The thing of it is, I only clearly felt true closeness to him twice in my life. Once when my mother passed away and he was really vulnerable, and then, as he passed away.

This came to mind when I read this passage from Iron John recently:

It is possible that we will never have the closeness we want from our fathers. "Male," John Layard says, "symbolizes that which is 'set apart.'"

Bly indicates that 'whatever the father gives us, it will not be the same kind of closeness that our mother offered'.

Although that was also true for me, I don't feel any angst around that situation. Those two moments were enough.
