🔮 Supernatural Powers &

Last year I began a camping tradition with my sons that I hope to carry on until they are adults, and maybe beyond. The tradition being to at least once a year go on a camping trip and invite each of my two sons, one at a time, to stay spend at least one day and night camping with me.

The purpose of this tradition isn't to teach them self-efficiency, man vs. nature, the joy of the outdoors, etc. Those are all bonus byproducts of a much larger goal. The real purpose of getting them secluded out in the wild is so that they have time alone with their thoughts and their father nearby to help them through what may come of that.

You see, I've found that after a few hours outdoors, with nothing much to occupy your thoughts beyond what to cook next or the meditation of reading a good book, you start to open up. Especially when the darkness settles in and you're lying in a tent waiting for sleep to come. There in the dark, something makes it easier to open your mind and soul and voice what lies within, both the good and the bad.

My oldest son is in elementary school, he joined me last year and I got to witness this happen. His little heart was weighed down with a number of little problems which he opened up to me. I did everything I could as a father to listen, ask questions, and offer guidance and encouragement. And I watched his entire being relax as he got the weight off his chest and felt the security and relief of being able to speak openly and without consequence.

Right now, he's a small guy with small problems. But soon both my boys will be bigger boys with bigger problems, and I want to provide a sacred space for them to talk to me. Because even though both of my parents told me that I could talk to them about anything, and I believed them, it never seemed like the right time to unload your burdens onto my parents. These camping trips I'm doing now are, hopefully, building the foundation for such a time.

As a bonus, while I'm having this one-on-one time with one son, the other gets to have some one-on-one time with their mother, watching movies and drinking hot chocolate and talking about their own things. It's a win-win for the whole family.
