“Father and Son” by Amanda Olson
(I wrote this about 5 years ago, but recent trends in our culture would seem to make it, once again, apropos. Count me among those who proclaim “me too.”)
practicing respect
for the women in their life
brings boys their manhood
From my books Pentimento and Riverthink

Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

Exquisite! Proud to know you. Touches one’s heart to know there are men who truly care appreciate and respect women. Not that all women deserve that kind of respect, because there are some who don’t, who act with as much depravity as seen on the news lately, but many many of us deserve to be treated graciously. The sign of true manhood. I couldn’t agree more! Thank you kind sir.

Beautiful thought, Paul. If everyone starts practicing this in real life, the world would be a better and a safer place for women.

Great timing for this. From a mother’s point of view watching my sons become husbands and then fathers fills my heart with tenderness.
