THIS OCEAN
I am a man who is learning to swim Her ocean with grace and confidence, and with profound gentleness.
A teacher & coach of authentic relationships I'm working with men and couples to make their lives happier. I'm also a certified Life-Cycle Celebrant™ (weddings, funerals, the rituals of this life).
I am a man who is learning to swim Her ocean with grace and confidence, and with profound gentleness.
If you're a man, you might wonder at how much the women in your life give of themselves so that men like you and I might feel even a little of how rich this moment, this life, is.
So, today, grateful to my practice and my still-growing awareness of who I am and how I may thrive as a man, I listen with ears unused to listening. I surrender, unused to surrendering to the silence. I struggle to hear.
I believe that somehow the things I say or do may help them re-enchant and fix, if not their marriage, then at least some magic of love that’s been broken.
When I feel her there seems nothing I cannot do.
I am beginning to understand something very basic...
Her tenderness teaches me, when I am paying attention, about the softness and subtlety of life around me.
What happens, in my life, if I choose to open...?
...being like a stone

Seeds germinate. Roots push into the muck. They draw sustenance from this muck, and push that up and into stalks and buds. Here, in this garden, my family blossoms. My love blossoms. My beloved blossoms. My life is shaped. And here, too, all of it withers, dies.
And, coming up for air, coming through practice, feeling held, I am so grateful for this practice!
