Allow Me To Introduce Myself

From my relationships over the years, I have concluded that I am a very different, strange and unique person who most find difficult to fully engage. 

My ways trend toward solitude and introspection. Although sociable, I am quite adept at being alone and doing things by myself.

My world is peaceful and quiet. So please, tread lightly if you have opportunity to enter into it. And having entered, know that you may never see its innermost sanctums.

I don't bite, and I seldom bark. Yet don't assume I can not be dangerous. 

I may be meek and humble, but please do not misinterpret that for weakness.

I may be quiet and unassuming, but know that it is because I am thinking ALL of the time. 

I am fiercely independent and will resist all efforts to be controlled, ruled or directed by anyone without lawful authority or my expressed permission.

I am very old fashioned in my thinking: too late to get into the past world and no desire to fit into the present one.

For those who like to insist on having other people march to the beat of their drummer, be advised that I have my own band.

For those who are always in need and looking for a loan, a hand out or a hook up, be advised that I am on a fixed income: I am fixin' to spend my own money.

I think it is a true saying: "It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." I have had the unique priviledge of experiencing and sharing the joy and passion that is love. And for that, I am grateful.

I have just three regrets in life. I regret I am divorced. I regret I do not have a family and I regret I have never found 'her' to truly partner with.

I don't know why lasting relationships have never worked out for me. God knows I have tried to adapt myself to them. I know that I am tired of trying and I think, at least for now, I am done.

I am now doing my thing having not found a woman willing to do OUR thing.

I know my days on this earth are short, so I long to make the best of each and every one. 

I seek to making a lasting contribution to all those in my circle of influence and to be of some service to people in need.

Knowing that there are only two powers in this universe that really matter: LOVE and FEAR, my goal is to live in the former and defeat the latter.
