Gender Differences: Women love by sentiment. Men love by action.
by Steve Norcross
Women give and receive love as sentiment. Men give and receive love as action.
Already I’m in trouble. I have made a sweeping generalization with many exceptions. In this time of discovering that men and women are more alike than different, and in this day of a blurring of the lines that formerly defined the gender roles, I may be politically incorrect to describe inherent differences between the sexes.
From darkness I approach
by Devon Strong
As the seasons change at Equinox, it lasts the winters night, from darkness I approach.
As the cold of frost feathered windows, from darkness I approach.
As snowy footprints under star sparkled sky, from darkness I approach.
It is time for changing or renewing the spirit of flesh, from darkness I approach.
The four loves of my life
by Joe Glassman
For me, love is devotion, promise, interaction, giving, and risking. High risk; high reward.
The obvious themes for love in my life seem to be self growth, forgiveness, risk taking, and never giving up. My father always said, “Tomorrow is another day.” What he meant, I think, was that another day offers new opportunities to reach out and to try.
Heart Opening
by Paul Goldman
I opened my heart and found
you comfortably resting inside,
as if you had always been waiting
for the right time when I would
find you.
Had I but known you were here within,
I would have rushed ahead, skipped a few
steps necessary to finally commune
with you.
Men living with heart
by Daniel Doty
A few months ago, I was talking to a close friend about my work with men and its implications for society. The conversation became heated, and she made the following assertion: “Masculinity is slippery.”
What she meant is that due to societal and historical implications, we now must tiptoe around the topic of masculinity. She meant that being a man has become too complex, too undefined, and too inseparable from a negative historical inflection.
Costa Rica hosts open community circle
by Don McDougle
I moved to Costa Rica a year ago after reading about several intentional communities that, according to their websites, were functioning well. Having had the experience of starting an intentional community in Texas, without success, I thought joining one that was already together might be a solution.
