Curiouser and curiouser. The Matrix 4 movie was part of my trip down the rabbit hole with my father as he was exploring Lewis Carroll’s experiences with migraine headaches.

My father was talking about how Lewis Carroll’s concrete poetry was related to his experience of suffering from migraine headaches.

I shared this video with my father when he showed me that he was reading Dare to Lead.

My father was sharing a book by Brené Brown, Dare to Lead. I shared this website I had created while I was an instructor at the University of the Fraser Valley.

I pointed him to the TED talk by Brené Brown on The Power of Vulnerability.

When my father was showing me an Economist article with the title Down the rabbit hole, he was making a connection between Lewis Carroll and migraine headaches, which was a specific focus of research for my father.

My father has been exploring brain chemistry and neural connections since the 70s in his medical practice as a paediatrician. His children have been his experimental laboratory. A conversation with my father is an adventure down the rabbit hole.

This is what he was sharing with me this past weekend. I must have learned my love of books and magazines from my father.

My father’s interest in Lewis Carroll is related to migraine headaches, which is what my father was treating in adult patients, as he was exploration a correlation between diet and brain chemistry.

My father purchased this book, which connects wisdom to the story of Winnie the Pooh. The volume is beautifully illustrated by Mike Wall.
