Once upon a time, there was a small boy named Austin. He lived with his family on a small street in a quiet town. His parents had raised him to be a manly child. He was not a bully, but he was not one to allow anyone to get their way if it affected him. One day a fairy came to him and said, “Austin, the way you behave is not really the way God intended men to act” She taught him that the true male energy that God gave man was strong but gentle. He learned this well.

as a youngster from time to time I had visits from invisible playmates. it’s a shame we shame kids into crushing this aspect of their spiritual connection. male energy can be both strong AND gentle, not just strong, or just gentle.
