Gentle Men Discussion
Wednesday, July 27, 2016
You are Invited to a Discussion For and About Gentle Men Invitation I have previously held two discussions with men to explore what it means to be a quiet or gentle man who does not fully identify with the dominant macho expectations. At both events there was a wide ranging discussion, with the men present sharing their own experiences growing up and how they dealt with the differences that they noticed in themselves compared with other men around them, and the expectations put on them that did not fit in with their nature.

Storm clouds over Pe’ahi Farms while out walking with my wife, Melissa. Check out her online store Cloth and Goods.
I don’t think that the kid in me will ever grow tired of rock pools, a window into another world. An early morning low tide coupled with the calm, resting ocean is a perfect place to find them.

It was lovely to visit St. Werburghs City Farm again after so long… decades. So much has changed in the surrounding area, but all good eco/community based projects. And a good evening with The Mankind Project in Bristol.
Ancient signposts.
Back home in Bristol and an evening walk across the Downs. Cool, clear, bursting with spring life, the Black Birds singing.

Hearing It As It Is From Men
Monday, April 11, 2016
Boy this article/post has taken a long time to come together - too long. I’m not sure why. I could probably blame writers procrastination, that blank white screen or sheet of paper that is just sitting there taunting you to dare to fill it with words. Perfection has probably also played a part…”gotta get this right,” and then I over think what I wanted to say (as is my introvert tendency).
