Are you ready?
For next March?
That’s when baby arrives.
That’s what everyone’s asking.
Will I be ready.
Ready for the arrival.
Ready to be a father, daddy, 爸爸。
So my ready-made, generic answer’s been, “I guess I’ll be”.
Or “I’ll have to be”.
So this weekend at church I got a “bevy” of the same.
“You ready?”
“You going to be a father…”
Et cetera.
As I began to deliver more of the same, I felt an epiphanic answer come on.
I AM already.
A father.
A daddy.
A 爸爸。
At inception.
How apt, in these times of debates, conventions and election.
I am, not because I am ready.
Ready physically.
Ready emotionally.
Ready spiritually.
All that will be a life long journey.
I am, not because I am ready.
I am.
Because I’m already.
