The Wondermoment

– prompted by Robert Bly in the excellent anthology The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart.

Some men, I among them at that proverbial

once upon a time, wonder about love.

Confronted by the fact of our patriarchally received nature

but aware there must be a better way, we wonder.

The poet Robert Bly speaks of a man

who learns to love “the guiding woman.”

His heart is cultivated that way,

the way the patriarchy yields.
