“To write something, you have to risk making a fool of yourself.”

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves Who am I to be... Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, and Fabulous? Actually, Who are you NOT to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in all of us, everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. (Nelson Mendela)

------------------------

About Me:
Well educated, well mannered, sweet, stable man. A guy who loves the outdoors, long drives, walks along the water (I would say the beach also, but since we no longer have an ocean here in the North Texas area, I can not use that as a regular activity--but did enjoy the morning runs on the beach during my studies at UTMB-Galveston), hiking, and much more...I am also a naturalist- a true 'tree hugger' and hate to see all the trees bulldozed down to build another MALL....As if we need another mall in the D/F.W. area.

Employment:
Yes, indeed.

Hobbies:
Photography (Nature, wild life, and people), wildlife observation, Save Nature (whales to lions to mountain goats) groups, scuba diving, sky diving, pool diving. Expedition groups ( www.earthwatch.org )

CONFESSION:
I am a single father of an 8 year old boy. (If that is a "NO GO!" Thank you for reading my profile and good luck to you, but if you'd like to get to know more about a me, please continue to read)...

My Type-(with):
I just wanted a partner to hang out with, go to museums with, try new restaurants with, go the arboretum with, listen to outdoor concerts with, walk along the lake with, try some coffee houses with, cuddle with, work on a habitat house with, help others with, be romantic with and develop a friendship with.

Who:
I would like to meet a lady who is energetic, loves life, nature, as well as, adventure, be it at home or across the world. Someone who is 'down to earth' yet never stops reaching for the stars.

Age is not important. COMMUNICATION and TRUST are the keys to a successful relationship. The things that attract me are intellect, sense of humor, and spirituality.

I am not looking for a woman to live with, I am looking for the one I can not live without,-a best friend. I vow to love more generously, simply, yet with reckless abandon. It should not be chip-on-the-shoulder, anxious, or complicated! I want love to heal me and my beloved and not be harmful to either one of us. The bad thing about vulnerability is that closeness breeds familiarity and carelessness along with the intimacies of friendship. Yes, we have had many intimate moments together, more than making out could ever bring! Well, they'd be different moments, no less passionate though!


OVERALL:

Overall, I am a nice guy, I really am...TAKE A CHANCE. If it works out, it works out, if not, you and I may gain a life long friend.

--------------------
I ask you, ARE YOU THE ONE???
Are you like me,
wandering around the world
looking up to the heavens
in hopes of finding the true soulmate?

If I could dream at night
and if those dreams came true
I would force myself to sleep at night
so i could dream of you
If wishes were given to lonely guys,
and if i were given just two
I would wish that you would always love me
The other i would give to you
But dreams are for dreamers
and wishes seldom come true
My tears do not write love songs
But when they fall....
They fall for you.

'BORROWED' FROM KRAZYXEXYKEWL's profile:

We sat And talked About nothing,
I looked Into Your eyes,
What happened next,
I'm not Too sure,
But it undeniably took me
By surprise.

Either the sun Became golden liquid,
And gently caressed My lips,
Or you,
Took me In your arms
And gave me
My First Kiss
--------

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look at me,
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way


-----------------------------------
Thank you for reading my profile. I am sure this may be one of the longest 'MAN PROFILES' you've read but I want everything to be upfront- One can not venture in to a friendship without being truthful first. I sincerely do hope you find what or whom you seek.

Very spontaneous. CAN YOU KEEP UP WITH ME?????

“And I knew my vision of the garden of savage beauty had been a true vision. There was meaning in the world, yes, and laws, and inevitability, but they had only to do with the aesthetic and in this Savage Garden, these innocent ones belonged in the vampire's arms. A thousand other things can be said about the world, but only aesthetic principles can be verified, and these things alone remain the same.”

“People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil. I don't know why. No, I do indeed know why. Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.”

Choose, he whispered into her ear
make the choice of which you fear.
Happiness sure with a lover
or the gift of the Muse over the other.
Choose, he shouted into the night
or I shall make much worse your plight.

She shook and fell upon her knees
cried to the demon with desperate pleas.
"I have known them both without the other,
have felt the void when they are sunder.
I will not choose between the two
for they must be one, else be untrue.
I will not live with only half
for then my story will be but a draft.
I’ll settle not for an incomplete wish
for tis the same as the dark abyss.
You cannot force my hand in this
for then i’d choose death’s sweet kiss."

The demon smiled at her naiveté
sensing the snare on his easy prey.
Doomed you are then to a life of searching,
restless, incomplete, senselessly hurting.
Suffer you will, more than you dreamed
for wanting them both when one could have been.
