20.01.2022 Tim Winton We teach boys to renounce the best of themselves.

16.01.2022 A Quiet Word has just published "Do we as men dare to be authentic and different?". Many men are too intimidated to be different in their behavior to what mainstream culture subtly and not so subtly dictates. Men can be as bullied & seduced, as women have been, by social gender stereotypes.

13.01.2022 A Quiet Word has just published "Two Strangers Meet"

12.01.2022 A Quiet Word has just published "A Woman in The Crowd". 99% of this little piece came to me as I wandered around the Salamanca Market in Hobart taking photos. I was intent on taking a photo of the bustling market with the backdrop of Mount Wellington. Probably the billionth time that scene has been photographed. I was unaware of the women in sunglasses in the foreground. When I saw her in the photo later I was delightfully surprised and intrigued. She stood out and there was a story there. Who was she and what was she doing there? I was pleased with the outcome of my writing. I hope you enjoy reading it.A Woman in The Crowd

05.01.2022 A Quiet Word has just published "A Quiet Word with Jaime de Loma-Osorio Ricon". Jaime de Loma Osorio Ricon is the Deputy CEO of Banksia Gardens Community Services. Jaime is a dedicated, hardworking man driving many community development initiatives in the City of Hume, Melbourne Australia. http://banksiagardens.org.au "I do struggle with the concept of masculinity. I know i am a man but I think more and more, we find that can be expressed in lots of different ways. Perhaps we can rescue some of the things that we have thought of as masculine and maybe repackage them...like responsibility and courage. For example the courage to look at yourself and see that you need help and you can't do that by yourself...and that you are vulnerable."

04.01.2022 The conundrum of healing. We do need to go inside to heal, and yet, if all we find there is grief, shame, fear etc, then how can we heal? The answer is by activ...ating the emotional healing mechanisms we were born with. Particularly our capacity for crying, and healthy anger release. If we activate both of those wings, we will find our way through the pain to a self-loving inner world. We will shed the overwhelm of self-hatred. Yet if we only activate one wing- crying but not angering, angering but not crying- we keep ourselves trapped inside a limited range of feeling. We need both wings of expression to free ourselves from this wall of pain. In many ways, and I realize that this is an over-generalization, this is how our polarized gender conditioning locked us inside of our own pain. Men could anger, but not cry. Women could cry, but not anger. And so we ended up mutually imbalanced. This is why the gender-inclusivity revolution is essential to our collective healing. If we can shed these limiting ideas of gender (and any other polarized notions of self), we can shed our reliance on limited pathways of expression and finally heal. All polarized conditionings prevent us from healing and wholeness. If you can only be one aspect of yourself, you cannot heal the whole. The way to true healing is to grant everyone the permission to be, and to feel, all that they are.

04.01.2022 Love should be measured by the people involved making each other better than they would be apart, by mutual respect and understanding, by shared values and goals, by trust, and not by how jealous you can make each other by flirting with other people, or by proving that you can avoid the temptation of an attractive person, or by testing each other’s faithfulness. https://everydayfeminism.com//tv-teaches-us-toxic-monoga/
