Sparkle Weekly Wonderings: Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father’s Day!

We’ve been thinking a lot about boys and maleness/masculinity these past months. There are such wonderful, powerful and sometimes painful conversations happening about gender on the world stage. I want us to guide our two sons as well as we can through this deeply transformative time.

There are so very many expectations laid out for both genders, aren’t there? We’re just beginning to parse the subtle, understated messages from the not-so-subtle ones so that we might create freedom for all of us. It’s a good, hard, important project.

This Father’s Day, I’d like to open the world of possibilities to our fellows, children and adults alike. Let’s encourage our boys and men to feel free to be “All The Things” (as Sylvia would say): fierce and tender, boisterous and reserved, soft and strong, competent and wild.

May your Father’s Day weekend be filled with connection and joy!
