Daddy Is A Verb - Himeros Backstage Conversation with Finn, LeoRising, Davey, & Curt

We might have been under a fixed—misguided—notion that a daddy is a man who is older than we are, more successful, possesses a larger cock, totes a belly or furry body—the general direction to which we are evolving in physical form. These associations are not outrightly wrong; in fact, many men who demonstrate these physical attributes are, indeed, excellent daddies. However, there are far more of these physical stereotypes who exude considerably fewer psychological traits that we may actually require from a daddy.

Each of us is encoded with a blueprint that is either activated or remains inactive, instructing us in how to nurture others; how to grow in wisdom, patience, and presence; how to hold space for another so that he may lay down his burdens and be fully received. This blueprint is an archetypal form: the universal father within us all.

Anyone can learn to cultivate the ideal fatherly skills if we orient toward growth, discarding singular beliefs about what exactly makes another man eligible for us to reveal to him our most vulnerable selves.

Therefore, I think that daddy is more of a verb than it is a noun; a domain of emotional qualities more than it is a concrete set of physical attributes.

Happy daddy hunting!
