Trudeau Facebook Post. Right wing men could learn from him.

Back from Rome and life is already back to its "chaotic family rhythm"! This week, when Hadi saw Ella-Grace dressed up for “chic day” at her school, he asked to put on his shirt "like daddy's" when he goes to work... my heart simply melted! Moments like this give meaning to this passage I love below, and remind me to slow down for a couple of minutes every day and appreciate the fact that we're healthy and OK.

"The faster we run, the more determined is the Universe to slow us down. The more embedded our methods of self-distraction, the more agitating the truth-aches calling us back to authenticity. The more eagerly we race to the sky, the more intense the lessons that bring us back to earth. The Universe has no interest in our flight from reality. It wants us right here. Nowhere else... but here."

- Jeff Brown, Ascending With Both Feet on the Ground

Too bad some of him didn't rub off on the orange jerk. But I'm not sure there can ever be enough to rub off to help an individual like him to make a positive difference.
