I’m happy to report that I celebrated my 80th birthday on December 21, 2023. It’s been stated that the 2 most essential days of your life are (1) The day you had been born and (2) The day you discovered why. You already know the day and month of my delivery and might simply work out the yr. The day I discovered why I used to be born was on November 21, 1969, the day my first son, Jemal, was born. Once I held him in my arms shortly after he got here into the world, I made a promise that I’d be a special form of father than my father was capable of be for me and to do every thing I might to assist create a world the place fathers had been totally wholesome and concerned with their kids all through their lives.
When our daughter, Angela, was born on March 22, 1972, I began MenAlive.com. I spotted that if I used to be going to satisfy my promise to my kids, I needed to be taught to be wholesome in physique, thoughts, and spirit myself. We all know that isn’t a simple activity. One of many issues that has turn out to be more and more clear to me as I’ve lived these eighty years is that our world has turn out to be more and more unhealthy. What we name our world local weather disaster is known as a symptom of a world out of steadiness, or extra precisely, a world the place human beings are out of steadiness with the group of life on planet Earth.
The growing temperature of the planet is the fever response to a systemic sickness.
Historian and “geologian,” Thomas Berry, warned us:
“We by no means knew sufficient. Nor had been we sufficiently intimate with all our cousins within the nice household of the earth. Nor might we take heed to the assorted creatures of the earth, every telling its personal story. The time has now come, nevertheless, after we will pay attention or we’ll die.”
