International Men's Day 2019

This International Men’s Day

I honor you

You Kings, especially those who rule humbly and quietly, from the background

You Warriors, those who fight with honor, in the world and within yourselves

You Magicians, who work tirelessly to study and hone the secrets of the human universe

You Lovers, who brim with vim and vigor and connection to the world around you

But especially

I honor you little boys. I know you’re in there. Adventurous and impatient. Hurt and neglected. Ready to learn, ready to wrestle.

You are all welcome.

Mara Blake
