by Boysen Hodgson The New Macho He cleans up after himself. He cleans up the planet. He is a role model for young men. He is rigorously honest and fiercely optimistic. He holds himself accountable. He knows what he feels. He knows how to cry and he lets it go. He knows how to rage without hurting others. He knows how to fear and how to keep moving. He seeks self-mastery. He’s let go of childish shame. He feels guilty when he’s done something wrong. He is kind to men, kind to women, kind to children. He teaches others how to be kind. He says he’s sorry. He stopped blaming women or his parents or men for his pain years ago. He stopped letting his defenses ruin his relationships. He stopped letting his libido run his life. He has enough self respect to tell the truth. He creates intimacy and trust with his actions. He has men who he turns to for support. He knows how to roll with it. He knows how to make it happen. He is disciplined when he needs to be. He is flexible when he needs to be. He listens from the core of his being. He’s not afraid to get dirty. He’s ready to confront his limitations. He has high expectations for himself and those he connects with. He looks for ways to serve others. He knows he is an individual. He knows we are all one. He knows he is an animal and a part of nature. He knows his spirit and his connection to something greater. He knows future generations are watching his actions. He builds communities where people are respected and valued. He takes responsibility for himself. In times of need, he will be his brother’s keeper. He knows his higher purpose. He loves with fierceness. He laughs with abandon, because he gets the joke.
