" "I interviewed Robert Bly in 1990. I can remember saying to him, “Now, what about the men’s movement?” And he said, “No, it’s not men’s movement.” And I said, “Well, what will you call it?” “Men’s work, just work with men, that’s all.” And, I really like that. I like that he called it work with men. Mythopoetic is too big a word. It is better to have simpler words.

¿Qué es aquello que jamás puede morir?
Es aquella fuerza fiel que nace en nuestro interior, la que es más grande que nosotros, la que atrae la nueva semilla hacia los lugares abiertos, maltrechos y estériles de tal manera que pueda volver a arraigar en nosotros.
Esta fuerza, en su insistencia, en su lealtad a nosotros, en su amor por nosotros, en su acción casi siempre misteriosa, es mucho más grande, mucho más majestuosa y mucho más antigua que cualquier otra fuerza que jamás se haya conocido.
Among wolves, when the bitch leavers her pups to go hunting, the young ones try to follow her out of the den and down the path. She snarls at them, lunges at them, and scares the bejeezus out of them till they run slipping and sliding back to the den. Their mother knows that they do not yet know how to weight and assess other creatures. They do not know who is a predator and who is not.
