A good fight
I’m wading through one of those books that has the possibility of changing your world for ever! It’s called ‘Iron John’ by Robert Bly. Closing in on the end of the book there is a paragraph about fighting within in a relationship that left me wondering how ‘you get that’. It was a description that made fighting sound wonderful and healthy.
A good fight gets things clear and I think women long to fight and be with men who know how to fight well.
When both use their weapons unconsciously or without naming them, both man and woman stumble into the battle, and when it’s over the two interior children can be badly wounded.
The adult warrior inside both men and women, when trained, can receive a blow without sulking or collapsing, knows how to fight for limited goals, keeps the rules of combat in mind, and in general is able to keep the fighting clean and to establish limits.
Indeed, how do you get this?
