Reciprocation~ ( )

Here’s a haiku I originally posted back in July of 2021.

I’ve spent too much time and energy in my past on people that didn’t do the same for me. Likewise I know I’ve been guilty of it too. We can all do better!

Poem in image:

“Honoring myself
Prioritizing true needs
Reciprocation”

Here’s a small haiku on masculinity. The world has told us what it is and isn’t supposed supposed to be. I’m ready to quit listening and instead start listing to my heart, thus allowing myself to be the man I want to be.
So a good friend introduced me to a podcast recently and I’m obsessed. Man Enough] has me really taking a look at myself and what has made me the way I am. The hosts and guests really challenge the listeners and themselves to unpack the idea of masculinity and what it is.
This podcast has also really prompted some great car conversations with my youngest son (17). We’ve been listening to it together while driving to volleyball practice recently. He’s already getting things so much more than I did at his age and that makes me happy.
If you haven’t heard of Man Enough] give it a try. & are great co hosts and really challenge each other and myself to dig down below the surface to unearth real thought and change conversations.

Empathy isn’t only outward!
