Sex, love and relationships are the most powerful forces in every man's life. They have the potential to make us feel invincible or to break us. There is no doubt that figuring out the mystery of being successful with women and having a good love and sex life is interconnected with our sense of fulfillment and happiness. The challenge men face in our modern lifestyle is a disconnection from our natural masculinity and spirituality. Instead of learning that it is within our power to think and act in a way that leads to a happy, joyous and free life, we learn that we are not good enough and need to consume more. We need to emancipate ourselves from false concepts of masculinity, love and sex that we learn through society, television and advertising and learn to take this most important aspect of our lives - the ability to live and love happily - in our own hands.

THE cave had been their hiding-place as children; it was a secret refuge now against hunger or darkness when they were hunting in the woods. The primitive meal was finished; ashes were raked over the red coals; the slice of bacon and the little bag of meal were hung high against the rock wall; and the two stepped from the cavern into a thicket of rhododendrons.

She sat at the base of the big tree-her little sunbonnet pushed back, her arms locked about her knees, her bare feet gathered under her crimson gown and her deep eyes fixed on the smoke in the valley below. Her breath was still coming fast between her parted lips. There were tiny drops along the roots of her shining hair, for the climb had been steep, and now the shadow of disappointment darkened her eyes. The mountains ran in limitless blue waves towards the mounting sun-but at birth her eyes had opened on them as on the white mists trailing up the steeps below her. Beyond them was a gap in the next mountain chain and down in the little valley, just visible through it, were trailing blue mists as well, and she knew that they were smoke. Where was the great glare of yellow light that the "circuit rider" had told about-and the leaping tongues of fire? Where was the shrieking monster that ran without horses like the wind and tossed back rolling black plumes all streaked with fire? For many days now she had heard stories of the "furriners" who had come into those hills and were doing strange things down there, and so at last she had climbed up through the dewy morning from the cove on the other side to see the wonders for herself.

Old Gabe had told him once about a Stetson and a Lewallen who were heard half a mile away praying while they fought each other to death with Winchesters.

But the miller had forgotten, and his mood that morning was whimsical.
