Last summer Darrell and I went to rediscover what it means to be an adult. Without any definitive rite of passage in America- many are left wandering the streets as perpetual adolescents. Brett McKay of ArtofManliness.com puts it this way,

“...rites of passage are important in delineating when a boy should start thinking of himself as a man, when he should start carrying himself as a man, when the community should start respecting him as a man, and when he should start shouldering the responsibilities of a man. Lacking these important markers, many young men today belabor their childhood, never sure of when they’ve really “manned up.”

Some of our favorite moments from Passage. What're Yours?

We’ll leave you with this gem from Robert Bly’s, “Iron John”, a passage that speaks to our inner Highway Walker.  
“What does it mean when a man falls in love with a radiant face across the room? It may mean that he has some soul work to do. His soul is the issue. Instead of pursuing the woman and trying to get her alone... he needs to go alone himself, perhaps to a mountain cabin, for three months, write poetry, canoe down a river, and dream. That would save some women a lot of trouble.”
