Fathers day 2022 and sons

 Yesterday was one of those magical days. A day when the small things came together in harmony.

Like an orchestra with the perfect acoustics.


I had rehearsed mathematics.

My son, always pics after a certain subset of my good habits. In particular the creative ones.

He has lately been practising dancing. He uses youtube videos and studies and practises the moves in great detail for hours, with quick breaks in between. It comes like an instinct to him.

For some reason he doesn't get frustrated, and he is very motivated from within.

It is amazing to see.

He has a superpower, that I wish to nurture in him.

The art of working hard and finding flow within a craft, somehow exist instinctively in him and he expresses it with joy.


Lately, I have taken up mathematics again. Slowly but surely and with strong determinism, but cautious and with mindful care. I do it for me, to have meaning and purpose. 

Things in my life come together now when I engage in mathematical thought and work.

My son somehow senses this force and now he has started again (as he did the last time I took up my mathematics) to take some of my math books and write down equations, diagrams and texts from these books. Sometimes he asks questions about what things mean and I do my utmost to explain and inspire wonder and some intuitive insight into the mathematics he is exploring from his curious playful mind.

The thought struck me that, he is starting to inspire me to find mathematics again.

It was fathers day, and perhaps, as a father and man, I want to inspire him.

Even so, this fathers day, it was he, my son, who inspired me to be me.

Sunday is Son's day.
