THE MALE JOURNEY t some point in time, a man needs to embark on a risky -journey.

Solitude is a courageous encounter with our naked, most raw and real self, in the presence of pure love.
Richard Rohr
Image
In solitude, at last, we’re able to let God define us the way we are always supposed to be defined—by relationship: the I-thou relationship, in relation to a Presence that demands nothing of us but presence itself. Not performance but presence
