I’m happy to report that I celebrated my 80^th birthday on December 21, 2023. It’s been mentioned that the 2 most essential days of your life are (1) The day you have been born and (2) The day you discovered why. You understand the day and month of my start and may simply work out the yr. The day I discovered why I used to be born was on November 21, 1969, the day my first son, Jemal, was born. After I held him in my arms shortly after he got here into the world, I made a promise that I’d be a distinct type of father than my father was in a position to be for me and to do all the pieces I may to assist create a world the place fathers have been absolutely wholesome and concerned with their youngsters all through their lives.

            When our daughter, Angela, was born on March 22, 1972, I began MenAlive.com. I noticed that if I used to be going to satisfy my promise to my youngsters, I needed to study to be wholesome in physique, thoughts, and spirit myself. We all know that isn’t a simple job. One of many issues that has develop into more and more clear to me as I’ve lived these eighty years is that our world has develop into more and more unhealthy. What we name our world local weather disaster is mostly a symptom of a world out of stability, or extra precisely, a world the place human beings are out of stability with the group of life on planet Earth.

            The rising temperature of the planet is the fever response to a systemic sickness.

            Historian and “geologian,” Thomas Berry, warned us:

“We by no means knew sufficient. Nor have been we sufficiently intimate with all our cousins within the nice household of the earth. Nor may we hearken to the assorted creatures of the earth, every telling its personal story. The time has now come, nevertheless, after we will pay attention or we’ll die.”

            Which brings me to the purpose of this text.
