Everyone talks of romance, honesty, and finding their soulmate. However, when it comes right down to it, the majority of us carry enough baggage to dispel these aspirations for lifetimes to come. I personally have been through three marriages which have lasted 11, 13 and 4 years consecutively. I come from a dysfunctional family, but who doesn't these days, and have carried my share of baggage. After my last divorce, over 3 ½ years ago, I decided to take a sabbatical and sort through my baggage discarding as much as I could. I've always been a very spiritual person (not dogmatic or a churchgoer) and have read widely in the areas of metaphysics, psychology, self-development, etc. I even found a local support group which helped me to dump more of the baggage. It's a bit like the sessions I knew with friends back in the 70's. I've found that 90% of dumping the baggage is just becoming aware that you're carrying it! After this it's only a matter of getting tired of carrying the weight! Since this is just an introduction I will leave it at this thumbnail sketch of personal history and hope you ladies looking for that "honest" guy will approve.
I also have my dreams about finding that soulmate. I've never read anything by Shirley Maclaine until I desired a change in pace of reading material and happened to venture into the biography section of the library. I ended up checking out a book by her called "Camino." She describes her spiritual journal across a pilgrimage route in northern Spain which has been transverse by saints, sinners, generals, kings and queen for thousands of years. It is done for self reflection and self knowledge. It takes between 4 and 6 weeks to cross and there are small towns along the way, but no Hiltons or Merriotts. A lady that would join me on such a journey would surely be interested in finding herself as well as that special person to walk by her side not only on this quest but possibly for the rest of her life. I might be a romantic, but this process would tend to put the "soulmate theory" within the real world. Quirky idea? Maybe, but we all have our romantic dreams. To tell you the truth, it scares the hell out of me, but I'd do it in a second with the right person. So I call out to all you ladies out there looking for the real thing and offer the challenge. It's O.K. if you have concerns, that's natural. Drop me a line, we can chat, I'm very open minded, a great listener and love new ideas. Who knows, between us, we might come up with something neither of us would have thought of separately. I've found freshness in my life and want to share it!
My Ideal Person:
I aspire for a partner in life who is independent,supportive, loving and sensual. Who has stay power and self confidence. One who enjoys life and finds all experiences a plus on her path of personal growth. She may have a touch a eccetricity that inspires her creativity, but through learning from her experiences in life, this doesn't overshadow her practicality. She demands a team effort in a relationship and will play HER 50% PART in maintaining it, whether I like it or not! She knows this is why I love her!
