my dear old father




each time he was near (between one of his trips far away) he'd leave me with a world of knowledge. an entire lifetime of experience like no other. i missed him a lot as a small child, but he does more good for society than he would for just me. 

i've been hoping he'd come home since i was a child and now he finally is.

58 love notes:

  1. that video is awesome. your father is truly an inspiration!

  16. He possesses such a potent spiritual and enlightened aura that when I saw him some time ago, I was immediately overwhelmed with the impulse and urge to speak with him, to sit and converse with him or hear one of his stories. His cup is full of a fervor for life, of life itself, and it overflows to those who pass him and all around him.

    Though the end scenes of this were somewhat sobering, I suspect he's a soul who will confront any foe or illness with resilience and wit and wisdom! Godspeed and healing to, and prayers, for him.

    You are your father's daughter, he must be very proud.

    xoxo

  21. I've been sort of watching and waiting for more of his story on vimeo. It's so special. The five minute teaser is wonderful, though that ending. I'm sending warm thoughts to him and hoping it reaches all the way to the other side of the world.

  26. This is so fantastic. Your entire family seems to be an incredible collection of incredible people. I know you've written about them before, but I would wish to hear more about them (and you). I just cannot get enough. It would make me so happy to get to meet him someday, but I can't see that happening anytime soon, unfortunately.

  48. We can definitely see where you get some of your inspiration and beautiful nature from, Nirrimi. Your father seems like a truly wonderful man. Somebody who isn't afraid to live life the way it's meant to be lived. Someone who isn't afraid to spread love and wisdom wherever he goes. What a wonderful family you must have.
    So happy to hear he is home with you now; all my love and prayers sent his way and for all of you. ♥

  52. I don't know whether it is the songs I've been listening to for the past hour but this video made me cry. Your father's spirit is what the world lack of. I do not pray often as I would want to but tonight I will pray a silent prayer for him to be well.
