The Tiger's Eyelash
a story about returning from war
Adapted by Anne Maria Clarke

We are very good at creating warriors, say Robert L. Moore & Douglas Gillette  in their book, King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine  - just not so good at bringing them home. Last time we explored the concept of Moral Injury and the relationship between Achilles' rage & that of many contemporary veterans who experience prolonged PTSD and struggle terribly to re-integrate into family life and the intimate relationships on which it is based.
There is a marvellously enlightening tale about such matters called The Tiger’s Eyelash - the gist of which concerns such a warrior returning home from war and whose wife - who despite all her efforts - cannot get near him – for each time she approaches he explodes with rage and storms away.
