Our world is relatively peaceful, not only at bedtime, but also when somebody cuts me off while I'm driving, or on other occasions when I am instantly triggered to anger. I hold my words and, sometimes, I even remember to keep my heart open. This is the remembering that is my personal breathwork. Fathering can be a spiritual path for men. For many men, their first step into their hearts, into the heart of love, is through their love of a woman.
Men take solace from women.
Because of the deep seated nature of the competitive male spirit, many men don't trust one another. But they often trust and can let go of their protective shells in the presence of women. This is also possible with one's child. Sadly, some men turn their backs on their children, letting the women in their lives be the ones who become enthralled with them and raise them. These men are missing the best bet their lives have to offer them.
