~ POETIC ENIGMA: THE ETERNAL SEEKER ~
With A Face And A Voice From An Age That Is Past ~ The Life-Long Echo Of A Long-Gone Era ~ A Singular Man Seeks A Single Heart For A Song Of Love That Is Far Sincerer;
The Ancient Soul's Reflection Sought In The Answering Spirit Of An Ageless Other: You May Have Children, May Have Nought, Yet The Love That You Crave Is The Love Of A Father;
But That Which I State, In The Spirit Of Truth, May Fall Heavy As Fate On The Spirit Of Youth, So Lest You Be Wondering When My Heart Sings, Then These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things:

Whose Name Spins A Thread On The World-Web Beyond, Linking Images, Interviews And Such Information As, Were You To Read It Before You Respond, Would Be Sure To Enhance Our Communication . . .
But Should Language, Or Age, Form A Frontier To Fate, When Soul Calls To Soul In The Search For Its Mate? No! Words Are The Best Of A Myriad Means For Sharing Our Thoughts, Our Ideas And Our Dreams;

For Fortunate People Make Fortunate Choices, And Confident Speakers Have Confident Voices; Find Faith In Your Spirit, Feel Love In Your Heart, And Nothing, And No-one, Need Keep Us Apart . . .

Недавнее крупное событие Вашей жизни?
Returning to live in the ancient rural market-town of my Paradisal boyhood-Summers of sun, sand and sea, Close to the coast of the soft South-West of England, known as 'The English Riviera' or 'The British California', Officially designated an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' and perpetually preserved as a 'Natural National Park', Which has thus brought me greater health, strength, youth, ease, peace & space than formerly . . .
Главный совет, который Вы дадите своим детям?
I Shall Be Telling This With A Sigh, Somewhere Ages And Ages Hence: "Two Roads Diverged In A Wood, And I ~ I Took The One Less Travelled By, And That Has Made All The Difference . . . "
For Thinking What You've Always Thought You'll Get What You Have Always Got; And Doing What You've Always Done You'll Be What You Have Always Been;
So Trust In Life, And Trust In Love; Believe In Yourself, And In Your Dreams; Follow Your Heart, And Your Star Above, To The Ends Of The Earth, As Far As It Seems;
And If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try, And Try Again; Always Helping Those In Need, Never Causing Others Pain;
But Wherever You Go, And Whatever You Do, Remember This Rule Your Whole Life Through:
Miracles Happen To Those Who Believe; Be Naïve ~ Let A Miracle Happen To You!
Что Вас больше всего потрясло в жизни?
The resurgence of the old, so-called 'Cold War', Exposing as it does Humanity's cruel delusion As to its moral, spiritual and cultural progress in the twentieth century, And attesting as it does to Man's inveterate, unregenerate, enduring tribalism, The ever-destructive power of the suspicion born of ignorance, fear and mistrust; Such that the long-cherished twentieth-century dream Of quiet men and women of every nation, creed and colour For World-Peace in a peaceful, stable world Seems, after centuries of suffering, argument and armed conflict Directly arising from Man's aggressive, dominant, violent nature, To be rapidly receding into a distant, dearly-hoped-for, Ideal, yet utterly-unattainable future ~ God grant it may prove otherwise . . .
Последние книги, которые Вы прочитали?
The Works of Kahlil Gibran . . .
Ваши цели сейчас?
As they have always been ~ namely, To become wholly One-Self, Through the practice of Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Relationship and Right Living, So as to lead a life well lived, And contribute thereby at least something Toward the evolution of the species . . .
Кем Вы восхищаетесь?
Those who are true to themselves; Those who become more than they were; Those who leave the world better than they found it (Even 'though they did not ask to find it in the first place) . . .
Много ли у Вас друзей?
Old friends, new acquaintances: Tried and trusted, few but true ~ "Choose the best, and leave the rest, And the best are those who're true to you . . . "
Какие качества Вы особенно не любите в лицах своего пола?
Dominance, violence, aggression . . .
Какие качества Вы особенно не любите в лицах противоположного пола?
"Warm, authentic, caring, genuine, real: in every sense an old, old soul . . . ";
"A talented, colourful character, and true friend in need . . . ";
"On the surface ~ a sharp, sardonic, academic sceptic:
On the inside ~ a curious, adventurous, even mischievous child . . . ";
"In a blurred age of mass-mediocrity, you stand out from the crowd:
Always deep; sometimes doleful; often droll ~ but never, ever dull . . . "
Как меня видят просто знакомые?
As an unusual, surprising yet engaging mixture:
"On first acquaintance, cool, reserved and formal;
But on closer contact, personable, emotional, warm-hearted,
Playful, youthful, witty, even whimsical and zany . . . ";
"Not at all what one would have expected ~
In fact, rather a 'dark horse', 'black sheep' or 'deep water', as the saying goes . . . ";
"A personality of profound, yet oddly-complementary, contrasts ~ an odd mixture, but a good one . . . "
