We are created for adventure, and if we cannot find one, we start blowing things out of proportion so it feels like we have one.

Aggression is part of the masculine design, we are hardwired for it.... Little girls do not invent games where large numbers of people die, where bloodshed is a prerequisite for having fun. Hockey, for example, was not a feminine creation. Nor was boxing. A boy wants to attack something - and so does a man, even if it's only a little white ball on a tee.

There is something else I am after, out here in the wild. I am searching for an even more elusive prey . . . something that can only be found through the help of wilderness. I am looking for my heart.

Without the anticipation of better things ahead, we will have no heart for the journey.

Worship is the act of the abandoned heart adoring its God

Most of what you encounter when you meet a man is a facade, an elaborate fig leaf, a brilliant disguise.
