Lately, I've found myself paying closer attention to an aspect of men's health that isn't discussed nearly enough. I'm not talking about testosterone levels, cholesterol, or prostate health. I'm talking about emotional and energetic health—the invisible side of well-being that often goes unrecognized until it begins to affect the body.

As an acupuncturist, I see firsthand what can happen when emotions are repeatedly pushed aside, suppressed, or carried alone. Our culture often gives men very few places to safely express vulnerability, grief, fear, or even tenderness. The expectation to "man up" may seem harmless, but over time it can come with a profound energetic and physical cost.

I don't pretend that changing this cultural pattern will be quick or easy. But I do believe that healing begins with conversation. It begins when we ask questions no one has thought to ask, listen without judgment, and create space for people to be fully human. My recent article in Creations Magazine (link accessible through the blog post below) explores this topic through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine, emotional health, and one patient encounter that has stayed with me ever since. I hope you'll take a few minutes to read it.

Happy Mother’s Day 🌹 💛 🌎

Maybe your mother was the perfect mother.

Maybe she carried you

bled for you

sang to you

smiled at you

nurtured you and marveled in you.

Maybe she understood your essence

and was patient and let you unfold

in your own time and in your own way

honoring the heart of you all the while.

Maybe your mother cared for you;

Maybe she was there for you

long past childhood days.

Maybe your mother worked for you

cooked for you

sewed for you.

Maybe your mother listened to you

held space for you

Maybe your mother laughed with you

played with you

stayed with you through all your years.

Maybe your mother protected you,

But

Maybe she neglected you

rejected you.

Maybe she abandoned you

hard-handed you

betrayed you

flayed you.

Maybe your mother couldn’t mother.

Maybe your mother forgot you

lost interest

grew cold.

Maybe she never really loved you.

Maybe you were just her duty

for a little while.

Maybe your mother did the best she could

with what she had.

Maybe she was sick or sad.

Maybe her mother was bitter or bad

and hurt her in her deepest parts.

Now

Maybe you are a mother.

Maybe you are a perfect mother.

Maybe you pour abundant love into

your daughters, your sons.

Maybe you delight in them.

Maybe you struggle

Maybe you feel exhausted

resentful

lost and unseen.

Maybe you feel nothing.

Maybe you are just surviving.

Maybe you are not a mother

but long to be a mother

Maybe you mother others.

Maybe you don’t want to be a mother;

will never be a mother

Yet

We all need a mother

Yes, we do

And maybe there is a perfect mother

just for you.

She is the mother of your mother

and your mother’s mother

and back as far as the eye can see

or mind can know

or soul can feel

to the first mother.

Lie on the grass and feel Her heart.

You were formed of Her earth.

You come from Her waters.

Her winds kiss your cheek eternally.

Her rains cry with you when you cry

and wash your wounds.

She will heal you

nourish you

wait for you.

She will give you beauty

give you joy

give you new life

again and again.

She will always be there

to enfold you in Her embrace

when at last you return —

Maybe you have the perfect mother . . .
