Father’s Quill

Stories & Fables for Quiet Reading

I’m Mac—a father, a listener, and an accidental philosopher armed with a coffee mug and a house full of material. Here, I jot down short fables and scraps of wisdom pulled from daily life with my kids—half lesson, half survival tactic. Most were learned the hard way, often from someone under four feet tall. These aren’t sermons, just small stories with a sense of humor about how clumsy wisdom usually looks on the way in.

The Imperfect but Honest Shadow

Let truth walk on its own feet, and you on yours.

The Songbird and the Unyielding Wind

When comfort gives way to truth, love shows its hardest mercy.

The Sunbird and Her Reflection

Mending projection and silence at the edge of a still pond.

The Loving Fool

A short lesson on the difference between love and wisdom.
