Men

Men who support women. Men who care for women in pain. Men who listen to women, even when they repeat themselves. Men who say yes to women. Men who praise women when their bodies become old. Men who embrace women on earth and not pictures of women in their heads. Men who linger by forest ponds and gaze into still water, speaking to the great Mother. Men who travel deep into the wilderness, not to hunt and kill, not to climb the highest peak, but just to be there. Men who know valleys, observing the etiquette of cedar and willow. Men who understand that the fire in their belly is the Goddess.
