Respecting and in awe. Pass It On.

Of respect, we note the King James era of usage in which the word "fear" was interchangeable with "respect".

And of course, I appreciate any sincerity pooled in the universe that would lead someone to this website.  And by "appreciate", I mean I am at once thankful and in awe.

I begin to write a bit about a character, a fictional distillation of a real person, that in me inspired a kind of horrified awe, and at once, smiles and laughter.  Oh, how we writers like a good line, and we make so much over the least turn of words, such as it is.

But after Father's Day, we come to Respect in the Pass It On canon.  Perhaps there is some poetry in that, that with familiarity bled away, drained from the concourse, we come to loving memories, a plethora of a kind of respectful awe of the older generation.
