Why I started this blog...

Why did I start this blog? Why the name?

I started it because of a woman.

A woman who inspired me to believe in love again after many years. And to remember what I'd forgotten could even happen to me - that I could love and be inspired by another, and what they showed me about myself.

That I could find a mate and a life companion.That I could share such laughter with a woman whose intelligence I respected, who I saw as an equal. Who inspired my body, and my passion. Who made me feel like a man again. Who caused me to reflect that I had arrived in that place in my life, where I could take credit for being who I am, for having come as far as I have.

Then I lost her.

Where I had seen a vision of possibility and potential, she only saw a dream.

After many years of being single, to lose that vision was devastating. But now I see where her life commitments and mine don't mesh. Our paths touched momentarily, but they couldn't be one.

I don't see love the same way as she does. My values are different. And I believe potential and possibility must be fought for, and manifested into reality, no matter what. Otherwise our disbelief, our "realism" becomes the coffin we live our lives in. Although certainty may seem like confidence, it's often just a poor imitation, and there's nothing underneath it but a bully. I'd rather question, seek until I find, rather than settle.

This blog is my journey on this path.
