My son talked for 20 minutes. I barely said a word.

At the end: "Thanks, Dad. I feel better."

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is just be there.

If your kids were asked to describe you in one word, what would they say?

You can change the answer. Starting today.

What word do you want them to use?

#Fatherhood #Presence #Intentionality

Family events go on the calendar first.

Everything else works around them.

Your kids won't remember your job title. They'll remember whether you showed up.

Perfect balance is a myth.

Being intentional about where you show up? That's real.

Your kids don't need a perfect dad. They need a present one.

A muscular African man stands confidently against a plain wall, wearing a wide-brimmed conical straw hat that partially shadows his face. He holds a tall wooden staff upright in his right hand, adorned with beaded bracelets and a patterned open vest revealing his toned chest and abdomen. Dramatic directional lighting sculpts his physique with strong highlights and deep shadows, evoking a ritualistic warrior or shaman archetype.

High-contrast black-and-white silhouette of a muscular Black man in profile, wearing a conical straw hat. His arms are extended horizontally, balancing a long wooden staff across his shoulders in a powerful, invocational pose. Strong side lighting creates deep shadows and dramatic outlines against a plain background, conveying ritual balance, strength, and mystery.

Close-up portrait of a muscular Black man with glistening skin under warm red-orange theatrical lighting. A large conical hat casts deep shadows over his eyes and upper face, while his open patterned vest reveals a toned chest and abdomen with visible beads and adornments. The intense, dramatic lighting emphasizes texture, power, and a ritualistic, almost spiritual presence.

Before Blvck Vraneae (Earlier Works)

He couldn’t help
but remember he was a celebrated myth.

Boldly grounded—
elegant and ritual,
beyond means.

All the mutations
have not removed
his own adornment.

Everything slows down.

Breathe.

Gary Lachman - Touched by the Presence: From Blondie's Bowery and Rock and Roll to Magic and the Occult https://www.patreon.com/posts/gary-lachman-by-139935811 A memoir of magic, rock and roll, and becoming who you are • Traces the author’s journey from bassist and founding member of Blondie to writer on consciousness and the esoteric tradition • Explores his involvement in Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way, Crowley’s Thelema, and his relationship with the bestselling author Colin Wilson • Reveals how an early love of comic books, science fiction, and fantasy led him to the esoteric tradition Not many members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are also recognized authorities on the western inner tradition. Gary Lachman is. In 1978, Blondie released the top-ten hit, “(I am Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear.” Gary Lachman (then Gary Valentine) had written the song for his girlfriend after the series of shared dreams and telepathic experiences they had. Thus started his life-long obsession with the potentials of consciousness. In this memoir, Gary recounts how he went from being a successful rock and roller to a writer on consciousness and the western inner tradition. He shares encounters with rockers such as the Ramones, New York Dolls, Patti Smith, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Iggy Pop and also Timothy Leary, William Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg. Living with Blondie’s Debbie Harry and Chris Stein on New York’s Bowery, a block from the birthplace of punk rock, CBGB, Gary discovered occultism via a follower of Aleister Crowley. Post rock and roll, Gary’s occult studies brought him to the Golden Dawn, Manly P. Hall, Gnosticism, and a stint in Crowley’s O.T.O. He details his time in the Fourth Way, including a visit to the site of Gurdjieff’s Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in France, and his years studying philosophy and literature and working as a Science Writer, while managing a famous metaphysical bookshop at the height of the New Age. Excursions to Stonehenge, Avebury, and Glastonbury in search of ley lines, and pilgrimages to Colin Wilson’s home in Cornwall, are a few of the highlights of this introspective, humorous account of a nascent writer’s struggle from rock and roll to individuation.https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DSV388DQ?s=amazon-pharmacy&keywords=gary+lachman&dib_tag=se&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&language=en_US&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ajVnikZk1ASD2hB_yHGOgRG_r4K8f8taQBQ0HwerNGR8hsoBx-57ZOXf2sRbxjQz8yA30dx2n31MJf3TzM5jNHz-qQOTv9LS6Ga-ShpN_BxrjY5h5PUB8HjlPCT0q0ofkNxp9ODOz-g69c7C0iXoNyRbkTSLhqE4J03_9JfWywRUIaJML6mHFvns8RuWWgqFAW-MZrgn-deX2Vp7Q07ebIYjNTFRcqnCHIFMScHYZ5s.iLrGGK9ug-lzo6k_YYa2AjrvERIc3A9tgEOGKmMw1kI&sr=1-1&linkCode=gg2&linkId=6aef75cf230578f430e169ea896108b9&tag=theopprep-20
