Blog started in Jan 2005: 1st entries for Write in Every Genre. Then the REAL ME begins |
I have a seed of an idea. It often receives showers of inspiration from passing clouds, which I see far away, but rarely portend their influence on this idea until long after the storm has passed. I want to encourage the efforts of many people -- but particularly men. Some times I doubt that I want to do this, or that anyone will take me seriously. But then I will share in one's feelings of depression. Or I will hear of a vibrant and active man taking his own life. Some how I want to become a better person through whatever connection I can make. But can I actually put myself in a place of guidance? Just because I am open-minded (sometimes only by force of will) does any group want my wisdom? I am inspired today as I look over the mission statement for a workshop site: awomanstruth.com But I find myself wanting to rewrite it for men. The Truth -- See it and hear it from yourself now To listen and open a safe space for men, where he recognizes his most active and self-assured self. To seek his own truth first and be rewarded in the sharing that allows for acknowledgment of his authentic living. To forge a path and willingly gather companions to strengthen in purpose. |
