Into the wild
by Johnny Fontaine
During the waning days of summer last year, I was leaving my church’s social ministry office after a few hours of volunteer work. I stood by the front door, looking at the fingerprints smudged across the glass, distracted by the sounds of people talking throughout the lobby.
My eyes noticed a book on a giveaway table, the cover depicting a man running along a great ledge of rocks high on a mountaintop. I read its title. Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man’s Soul.
My reverse mid-life crisis
by Roy Biancalana
The most life-changing moment of my life occurred when I realized that nothing needed to be changed.
I call this realization “my reverse mid-life crisis” because it is the opposite of what typically happens to men. Usually, when a man reaches middle-age, he becomes dissatisfied with his professional path and/or his partner, then he makes changes to find “it.”My life has been the exact opposite of that pattern. Ever since I was a kid, I have been dissatisfied with my life and chasing the illusive “it.”
