Father's Day is hopefully a time when the culture says, 'this is our moment to look at who our men and boys are.'
Michael GurianNeuroligacally, human beings haven't caught up with today's overstimulating environment. Getting kids out in nature can make a difference.
Michael GurianThe boy and the man must be raised to see the possibility of self worth, then meet a few others who provide the vision of a road toward it, then spend a lifetime pursing that worth through action and relationship. One of the great tragedies in human life is to be born a male and not be guided toward the value of a man.
Michael GurianBoys need to learn the value of spiritual solitude. For the soul to grow, it needs those moments of no-stimulation, of wakeful peace. Because we adults don't usually practice enough solitudeโbecause we are always 'doing' thingsโwe often neglect to teach our boys to find solitude
