Fathers Day, June 19, 2022 – a poem, prayer & blessing.
Also a remembrance.
Father’s Day – June 19, 2022 Fathers, teachers & protectors of his children. St. Joseph’s Day, protector of the child Jesus.

From the bible –
In thy seed shall all of the nations of the earth be blessed— Genesis 12:3,22:18

Honoring, recognizing & calling forth with love all the fathers in our families today.
Fathers living & fathers in heaven.
Fathers in the present & the past.

Fathers are like the heavens, the protectors, the over-seers of the family. Like the cosmos, looking down, directing & guiding us from the stars.
Mothers are like the earth, tending, nurturing, guarding us, surrounding us & all around us.

Father is the sky, the mind of the matter.
Mother is the earth, the heart of the matter.
Together we as children live in between them.

And so today is Father’s Day.
A poem…

FlowerSong / Flor y Canto /
by Francisco X. Alarcón – 1954-2016

In Xochitl In Cuicatl (FlowerSong in Nahuatl/Aztec warrior/father language).
The words are a metaphor for “the only truth on earth.”
Father’s teaching their children the poetry, art & symbolism of the Truth of the matter.
Always theTruth.
Warriors, the Fathers, living in the House of the Sun.
Sun as Father to the Earth.
