“Wow! Am I really a Dad?” Even after 6+ years, I am still settling into the humbling and miraculous journey of being a dad.
Earlier this week, I recapped, with my wife Luna, the birth of our daughters, Jaya and Sasha. What an incredible journey, as these beings grew inside of their mother, and then one day it happened, they were born, and life was
never the same again. Both Jaya and Sasha had very unique births, and both are very unique and special children. Being a father has been one of my greatest gifts in life. My girls are not only my daughters, they are my teachers, my reflections of divinity, and as one of my teacher’s calls them, “my little Buddha’s in residence”.
From the time I was a young adult I made a commitment to have a life of growth, practice, and service. When I turned 30, I foundmyself in Costa Rica, where I co-founded the True Nature Community and 
Education Center. We had created a community, we had people visiting us from around the world, our dreams were blossoming before our eyes. One weekend I had the chance to be on our land alone for a few days. I sat and reflected over those days, observing the nature that surrounded, contemplating my life, and my own true nature. I felt a piece of my heart open, as if another layer of a fruit was being peeled open. With that nectar and opening came a clear message that it was time to start a family. The next stage of my evolution was to embark on the journey of fatherhood. Four years later my daughter Jaya was born.
is an opportunity to connect to the lineage of fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers, that have all walked before us. And of course, my greatest teacher and inspiration has been, my father, who has shined a beautiful light on my path to fatherhood. Being a father is a true gift, a sincere privilege, and the deep and humbling practice that teaches me each day.
