Remembering wholeness
When a man forgets who he is, he often mistakes exhaustion for weakness. But it’s not weakness… it’s disconnection.
Years ago, I spent a week paddling a canoe with poet Robert Bly. One night, he recited Rilke’s lines about a man who leaves his table and keeps walking east - searching for something sacred he can not name.
I’ve come to believe men’s mental health is like that. A Journey of Remembering… a Return to something ancient, noble, and deeply human.
