the value size "about me"
Greetings and salutations ...
It is interesting where my mind goes when I think of putting a "profile" into words. By socialization and habit first thoughts run to the strictly biographical, the stuff of c.v.s and resumes. But like an afterburner kicking in on a supersonic interceptor other ideas quickly rush in drowning out all that went before. For your, the reader's, sake as well as mine I let that thunderous roar pass as well. Considering those first thoughts as memory allows for a balance and, hopefully, a cogent and comprehensible recital.
Important highlights:
- born forty-some years ago with both X and Y chromosones on the rough edge between prairie and megalopolis
- raised by parents who thought for themselves and expected their children to do so as well; even when that allowed both to reject much of what the parents held dear
- educated in political economy, mathematics and theology with side interests in early music, physics and astronomy
- trained in one of the classical professions in the midst of the prairie in a setting marvelously free of dogma and extremism
- joined in domestic partnership by a woman of intelligence and honesty; although we have lived a LDR for nearly ten years the trust, respect and attraction of nearly thirty years remain
- employed in my chosen field continuously for over twenty years in positions of increasing responsibility and visibilty
- joined by two astounding creations - children; both thriving in their mid-adolescence with intelligence, creativity, passion and honesty
- freed after much introspection and self-discovery to find a path that nurtures my creativity, my intellect, my passion and my desire; a path as a dominant male - a coach, a mentor, an instructor, an enforcer
- supported in all that I do by family, by friends, by colleagues and by people not yet met who pave the way with their bold behaviors and hoenst reactions to themselves and those around them
If you wish to hear the sharps and flats of my person imagine a reader, a sailer, a student, a disciplinarian, a swimmer, a bicyclist, a socialist realist, a theoretical pacifist, a practical defender, a singer to children, a poor trainer of dogs, a confident lover, a practiced journeyman of rope and leather, ball gags and floggers, a seeker, a humorist. Fair Celtic complexion, thinning hair, summer tan. I sleep and swim naked. I have travelled extensively on three of the six continents.
Why here? Why now? Because life without others is death. Because I have learned the very hard way to suppression of feelings and urges leads to pain - not so much to myself but to others surrounding me. I exist to be explored, probed, tested and challenged and to explore, probe, test and challenge those whom I meet. In that we honor our creation and we open the way to what may lie next.
Be well, find peace.
