Risk - Anaïs Nin

And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain
tight in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom.

Anaïs Nin

Review this poem

On taking risks

"Part of the process of change is to work to share who we really are as men. We live in a society where, for men, being tough, in control and competitive (by definition, against others and other gender stereotypes are qualities that are rewarded in when we work and play.)

The expression, "men have a lot of buddies, but no real friends," can be a place to start. We need to be open and honest about...yes....about how we feel.

How do our experiences affect our lives?
What are our hopes, fears, doubts and joys regarding our relationships,parents, school, work etc.?
