    Dear Hannah: LEarning (Cast (Caste) (AKA The Show Must Go On))
    Jan 5 2026

    Dear Hannah,

    I was assigned a role in this life before I was born ...

    ... but was then cast (thrown forcefully) into a cast (the actors in a play) according to caste ("social status or position conferred by a system based on class") ...

    ... hear me now ...

    ... my "truth" is "living in a daily lie" ...

    ... but the show must go on ...

    Love,

    Daddy

    Dear Hannah,

    Stick to the Master Plan (#MasterPlan) - even when current events make it feel like the world is out of control.

    Love,

    Daddy

  • Dear Hannah: LEarning (Reconciliation (Not Done Yet))

    Dear Hannah: LEarning (Reconciliation (Not Done Yet))
    Jan 5 2026

    Dear Hannah,

    The road to reconciliation starts with ...

    realization (of both the might and the plight),

    respect (both spiritual essence and natural function),

    reassurance (of commitment to the corrective plan and path - don't ask for trust ... EARN IT),

    and REAL relationship (dealing with each other as EQUALS).

    We've got a long way to go ...

    ... because we keep trying to start at the finish line ...

    ... and often label voices of reason as voices of treason ...

    ... but 'tis the season ...

    ... to answer folly ...

    ... defeat conceit ...

    ... then rinse and repeat.

    We are not done yet.

    Love,

    Daddy
