I believe that I am an old soul...my tastes and likes seem to reflect a time gone by. Not that I live in the past, but I do see the past for what it contributed to the present. l believe that I am a product of that combining of old and new, classic themes and new age sensibilities, its makes me the evolved man that I am today. Far better than the man I was just a few years ago...like it or not I believe it has a cumulative effect and we do actually become more enlightened as we grow older. That is the blessing and for many the curse of growing up.
I haven't traveled on the path that I thought I would. Even when I became aware that I was destined to take a completely different path in life, I strayed from that path as well. Eventually becoming aware that it is not our destiny to follow the path, but actually it is the forging of the path as we travel it that helps us to reach our final destination. My life has taken me on a journey that I never would have imagined, taught me lessons I never expected it to..seemingly preparing me for something...but what.
As I reflect over the events of the past few years I continue to learn more about life and more about myself. The things that I thought I wanted, almost imperceptably changing into new wants and desires, the attitudes and decisions made previously now seem not as steadfast to me, perspective shifting once again towards a new horizon. I do know that my needs and wants seem to be getting simpler, broadened. I want to be happy. I want to get out of life everything I can. I want to express the love I have inside. I want to make each day count.
