Good Men Out There

I was biking through a grassy plain when my sunhat flew off. I stopped and - while struggling to get my bike stand to keep my bike upright (it literally has ONE job) - a man rode by, got off his bike, and ran after my hat to hand it to me with a smile and a 'no problem' in response to my flustered thanks.

I was sitting on the curb outside the library where I work, feeling worn out but enjoying the gentle warmth of the spring evening, when a young man came by walking his two dogs. He spotted me, and I suppose I looked as tired as I felt. He asked me if everything was ok. I laughed, surprised, and said I was just drained and on break from work.

He asked me if I wanted to pet his dogs. I did, with delight, and he smiled and waved and walked off afterwards.

About

Good Men Out There is a celebration and collection of moments, big or small, that demonstrate that men can reflect as much núr as anyone else.

This idea has been percolating in the back of my mind for years, vague and unformed, but it crystallized after I met my fiancé, bless him. There is so much negativity about men out there, some of it well deserved; it's only too easy to believe that all men "nowadays" are inherently awful.

That's not true, and we know that, but a reminder never hurts.
