:My emotional base runs very deep and wide. I'm an open book, yet I remain an enigma, especially to those closest to me. I am multifaceted beyond your wildest dreams. So if you think you've got me all figured out, you don't know me well enough. I am an artist. I see. I think. I feel. I create. I have a rich palet of experience to draw from. I love language. I love the creative potential in words. Still, I understand that trust can only be based on patterns of behavior and time, plenty of time... I've already walked through my worst nightmare and have nothing left to fear, yet I allow myself to remain vulnerable and open. I am quick to walk away if you betray my affections, however. I am a stickler for honesty! I'm not just reffering to imperical evidence based facts. I've not yet met a man that can freely and consistently speak his heart, his mind, and the whispers of his soul with any amount of confidence and grace. I have no time in my life for people who don't respect themselves enough to respect me. Don't mistake my generosity for naivete'. Wise people know that the gift of love is in the giving. Its the electricity that surges through the soul when opening one's heart beyond its abandonded wounds. I own many scars. They adorn my body as a tapestry would, authoring the story of my life. I'm a survivor. I'm brave. I'm courageous. I love adventure. I love to travel. I'm a hands-on experiential learner with an estute sense of visual comprehension. I believe the best teachers never consider themselves as such. They just are. I care deeply about the condition of this world and its people. I feel especially protective of children-globally. Protective of their innocence and right to have an actual childhood free of burden and fear. Imagine if the majority of the planet's population was the product of unconditionally loving families who could meet their basic needs... For this reason, I intend to sponsor and/or foster children who were brought into this world without a hope or prayer for a truly joyful existence. I have no desire to spawn children of my own when there are already so many in need. I have a strong, strong spirit. I expect success. I'm stubborn when I have to be. I know how to get what I want. And most importantly, there's some part of me that literally wouldn't begin to know how to give up on myself. The mind is the artist. The mind paints the landscape of our lives.
