You were just a dad.
I'm just present.
You're just present, right?
You're not even a dad.
It's weird.
We think a dad is everything that you do for your kids.
When you're holding them in that moment and they're asleep in your arms or you're watching them sleep, you're not even a dad.
You are just an organism that is in bliss.
Observing.
Observing, right?
You're just in that moment.
And when you're doing that, like someone else will see a dad in you, but in your mind, there's no identity of dad.
Yeah.
Right?
There's identity of dad when they take their first steps.
There's identity of dad when you watch them graduate.
There's maybe identity of dad if they get married one day.
That's when there's identity of dad.
But in the moments that you're with them, there's no identity.
So identity is something that turns on and turns off.
