Men don't cry

But this one does.

My sensei, I'm not obstinate. I just am, just present. I feel what I feel in my heart, and I flow with it. Just like you.

Society doesn't think that men are, or should be sensitive to feelings, matters of the heart. But I am.

My sensei, I lashed out when I felt my heart was under attack. As I've said, it is the most precious thing I have. I can't give a woman anything more precious than that. All my heart wants to do is give itself. It hurts when it can't.

Namaste
