Earlier this year I attended Relateful Camp in Texas.
I was invited to give a 5 minute lightning talk on any topic.
I walked up in front of about 100 people and grabbed the microphone.
“I’m going to tell you the thing I’m most afraid to tell you” I told the audience.
“I’m going to tell you about something I think about in my room alone at night, and don’t often share with people.”
The audience seemed receptive and open. I felt bold and courageous. I took a risk and shared from my heart.
“I feel like when we use the word Patriarchy there is a subtle way we are hating men.
The world we are living in needs male leadership.
We need men who can stand up on a global scale and say what is okay and what is not okay.
We need principled men who are big-hearted and who embody the posture of ‘I love you unconditionally as you are, and I’m going to challenge you to be better.’
We have a collective father wound.
We are hurting in our relationship with men and male leadership.
We need healthy and vibrant examples of what is possible as male leaders.”
I had tears sharing this with the group.
Afterwards, several men came and grabbed me to hug me and shake my hand.
I touched something deep, down in the depths of what matters most and what’s most needed in these times.
