MANHOOD TEACHING # 4

PART 4


“Pedestals are dangerous, precarious perches better suited for birds. Pedestals are subject to the whims of the direction and mood of the four winds. Ideals don't only live in high places. They are directed to live in common areas accessible to the four common fears of people, and the dreams of young and old, alike. Ideals travel in the air alongside the stories we all agree to be bound by in our families, towns, and countries of birth.

To obtain an ideal place is a work always in progress. To lay hold to an ideal requires a humility that brings clarity to the mess of inconsistencies within the stories we hold as truths. It takes too much effort to hold someone, or an ideal on a pedestal. Pedestals are out of reach because it is safer than the battlefields of ideologies, and dogma that needs to be right!” –Dawn Wolf
