My father used to say "People are wealth." and he was so right about that. I am always surrounded by enthusiastic people who I admire, love and trust.
I hope that you, dear reader, also have people in your life who you can admire, love and trust, even if you don't have a multitude of family as I do.
Words can't adequately convey how much I appreciate my own mother, who died in 2013, and all of the other women in the family who bring new people into this world.
So I will just say, Thanks Mom, I appreciate this life that you gave me.
Procreation (creation) and nurturing children are truly the most important tasks for women. If not, what's more important?
To be a man, which the world is in short supply of right now, our job is to provide for and protect those children until they become women and men.
And so I walk in present day, meeting the challenge of existence in a slightly fucked up world. Facing 1000s of choices where I can prove to be manly or not.
