My parents don’t know anything about my spiritual practices. It’s not out of fear, I just prefer to keep that private from them. They’re very open minded and well educated, I just don’t feel the need to talk about my spirituality with them. ♀️
So I called them earlier today to wish them a merry Christmas and I asked my dad what he was reading lately. He said he’s re-reading the Odyssey, then went on to describe the part where Athena disguises herself as a beggar to visit Telemachus, and how great Athena is and how much my dad loves Athena…
My dad’s a non-religious Jew and, while he’s pretty well read on history, including Ancient Greece, he has no spiritual connections to the religion that I’m aware of. So this was totally unprompted.
All of that is to say: ok Athena, I see you gurl
