Roger. a few weeks ago i fancied having a circle of men speak, share, open, unpack and process through their lives and experiences together.....i wanted to film and shoot the process, perhaps over a series of gatherings. i would have called it Men Talk...i would have sold the use and distribution rights to media to show it..i would have put the call out for whatever men would want to do the next series and the next; or organize different MenTalks around the nation...I read you and think you would be a great candidate to participate in something like that...there were only four others, you would be the fifth, ranging in age from the 20s to 50.. right now..but not limited
the one thing about all the males so far...they are all men. they are all nice men trying...but struggling to process...
men need to talk. women need to talk too, but well...i guess the do sometimes or society makes it alright for them to; men need to be given the pass, the landscape and the support to do that..and if we make it public and national i think we may begin to teach, wayshow and example what might be possible other than the lashing out in myriad ways we see..
i have not acted on this because i do not know (wonder) if i have the means. i did not have the equipment (although I hear I may have access to it). I think of one place to have the first one (but then I wonder if the people will try to steal the idea and project from me)..that has happened more times than i care to remember in short eight years in trinidad...but i write it here, because i am also believing, learning and thinking...that if i cant do something, send it out to the universe, maybe someone else is more capable than me...( but that has not been the case: visions are not easily transferable things; and even if someone executed, some elements or seminal character pieces would be missing...)
there are some of us who just try to hold up others; hold space for others, so that the best of themselves may be free...freed...
cheers
(wow, what was that>?)

Maven,a lot has been said in so few words, yet it is that I understand those few words. Is it that you wish to document us...'WE' men in talk, in dialog, in discussion? Expressing emotions, ideas and visions? Very outside the box and very enlightening.....
ReplyDeleteYES! exactly that
