The big truth for men is that often we have to leave home in the first half of life before we can return home at a later stage and find our soul there.

If we don't learn to mythologize our lives, inevitably we will pathologize them.

THE MALE JOURNEY t some point in time, a man needs to embark on a risky -journey. It's a necessary adventure that takes him into uncertainty, and it almost always involves some form of difficulty or failure. On this journey the man learns to trust God more than he trusts a sense of right and wrong or his own sense of self-worth.

Men as a class appear to be "at risk," maybe even at high risk.
