A passing thought, a reference...

The following was brought on by my perusal of a bit by Sax in his blog. You should stop in and read him if you haven't. Interesting fellow.


Last night I was at my father's house and the four of us (my wife and my mother included) were having a conversation about life when it occurred to me that I wasn't really seeing my father. That is, I was seeing my father, but not the man. I concentrated my attention, pulled it away from my chosen perception and there he was...older than
