The Fisher King
Right out of Arthurian lore comes the famous Fisher King myth, a story about a wounded masculine feeling function and the subsequent healing of it by a fool. It comes in many forms, but the version told by Parry in this movie starts with a prince who has to sleep alone in a forest to prove he can be King.
A Book Review: Choosing To Be
On Being a Man with Robert Bly and Michael Meade
Jason Schroeder, one of my readers, passed along this video series of Robert Bly and Michael Meade. As always, I happily pass along the information. It’s golden as usual. And a great opportunity for me to get to know Michael Meade a little bit. I have never seen him “in the flesh” before and I really enjoyed it. They form a dynamic due for sure!
Review of Little Princes
I have been promising an antidote to the bleak view I have been taking of my adopted country in my past few political entries. Here it is, today, in the form of a book review.
The book is called Little Princes: One Man’s Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal, by Conor Grennan. Lest you fear, as I did when I first scanned the title page, that this might be just another chronicle of do-good activity in a distant part of the world, let me assure you that it’s also an extraordinarily compelling human drama, leading up to a sometimes nightmarish “journey into the interior,” in a landscape forbidding enough to put body and soul to the ultimate test.
