Episode Summary
In Episode #06, Jeffrey welcomes respected friend and dedicated father Alexie Dossa to the show. A man rich with stories, Alexie recounts the forceful life of his late father Ramzan Dossa and how he connected with his father’s heritage and legacy through an old leather suitecase filled with mementos.
Alexie shares what it was like growing-up in the wake his father’s untimely passing at the young age of 36, and how he found an important connection to him through yoga, mindfulness and his father’s academic achievements and spiritual traditions.
Through these and other tales, we come to learn who the men were that came into Alexie’s life and stood-in as father-figures, including the eccentric restaurateur Angelo. Spending over 1,000 nights talking into the late into night, smoking cigarettes, drinking wine and coffee and playing chess, Alexie became a son-figure to Angelo who imparted his hard-earned life-wisdom. We also learn how, eventually, Alexie came to find the father within himself in ways that he never thought possible.
This episode bends the contours of time and energy as it reveals fathering energy to be working in part, beyond the bounds of life and death.
