Menomorphosis |
Monday Apr 09 2007
At my men’s group meeting this weekend, my friend Vian was observing that as we aged, most of us middle-aged men seemed to be emerging from a kind of chrysalis and that we were in various states of becoming ‘butterflies’. After a few chuckles at the metaphor, we had to admit that, on the back side of our middle-aged crisis, we were a lot more mature, a lot more comfortable in our own skins and a lot more grateful, humble and serene than at earlier times in our lives. We also agreed we were all engaged in exploring ‘deeper questions’ than most of us had given much time to in younger years.
