In the sibling society, both the adult and the elder get lost, and no one knows where they are.
Robert Bly
Some men live with an invisible limp, stagger, or drag a leg. Their sons are often angry.
Robert Bly
We know that the adult in a certain sense has an attitude toward life exactly opposite to the attitude of commercials. Commercials say, 'Your longing for 3.2 beer is very important. Your longing for skin that doesn't have any wrinkles in it, that's very, very, very important.' The adult says, 'No, I've got wrinkles, so what?'

Robert Bly

Robert Bly
Don't go outside your house to see flowers. My friend, don't bother with that excursion. Inside your body there are flowers. One flower has a thousand petals. That will do for a place to sit. Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty inside the body and out of it, before gardens and after gardens.
Robert Bly

Robert Bly
We spend our life until we’re twenty deciding what parts of ourself to put into the bag, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to get them out again.
Robert Bly
We did not come to remain whole. We came to lose our leaves like the trees, Trees that start again.
Robert Bly
The deeper question... is not whether ancient religious forms can reform... but whether new forms of nature-related spirituality might emerge.
Robert Bly
Be careful how quickly you give away your fire.
Robert Bly
When a father, absent during the day, returns home at six, his children receive only his temperament, not his teaching.
Robert Bly
Grief is the doorway to a man's feelings.
Robert Bly
Every breath taken in by the man Who loves, and the woman who loves, Goes to fill the water tank Where the spirit horses drink.
Robert Bly
People tend to take stories literally these days.
Robert Bly
If a man, cautious, hides his limp, Somebody has to limp it! Things do it the surroundings limp. House walls get scars, the car breaks down matter, in drudgery, takes it up.
