Iron John, by Robert Bly
I am an adult with a boy inside, who was me sometime ago.
A boy who has a child inside, who was me as a child.
If we really are one inside the other then we are three; the child is movement, the constant potentiality of our life, a staminal cell from which a whole body develops, a mass of potential compressed elements of the brightest of suns; the boy, irresponsible, crazy, warrior who fights against who he is in order to become who he will be, a new Self; the man, experience, wisdom, advise, logic, rationality, faith.
Being three to be one; feeling this continuity, feeling different but united, respecting our past, knowing who we are and welcoming who we will be, seeing further than our eyes, to hear beyond any barrier, perceiving the road to heaven, feeling the light movement of space, the taste of death, the dance of life, which smile at us, invites us, beats us, our true mother, father, spouse, daughter, by whose side, willing or not, blnd or not, every day we walk.

The Face of The Man in Front of You
Searching the spirit of the father.. we often find our inner child and the feeling of brotherhood.
This is perhaps the highest moment we can reach as men and as a civilization. Brotherhood is harmony, sense of belonging. It is what firmly binds us to humanity and the timeless journey it makes in the universe. It's what completes us, makes happiness last, our happiness and that of others.
What is a man without friendship? And Society? Is it the same thing to go out and meet a friend or not meet anyone?
Man needs friendship to continue living, to hope for the future and to be able to build it as best as possible, in peace and serenity.
Apathy or Hate.. they are basically the same thing, and there is only one antidote: friendship.
We no longer have a choice. Not today.

" Happiness is difficult without a Father, incomplete without a Son, unthinkable without Friendship. " -- Fabio Barzagli, Modern Brotherhood
