I’d like men to think about evolving into something more sophisticated, more seductive.
To explore the possibility of an entirely new masculinity.

Only the gentle are ever really strong. – James Dean
Is American masculinity being redefined or have we always valued strong gentle men like James Stewart, Cary Grant, and Gregory Peck?

If you look for the truth outside yourself,
It gets farther and farther away.
Today walking alone, I meet it everywhere I step.

I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ‘Who in the world am I?’ Ah, that’s the great puzzle! – Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
This blog has taken me to Wonderland! I do not know the who, what, when, where, and why of it yet, but I am savoring and the experience. Thanks to everyone for your support!

A Necklace by William Strode
These veines are nature’s nett,
These cords by art are sett.
If love himselfe flye here,
Love is intangled here.
Loe! on my neck this twist I bind,
For to hang him that steales my mynde:
Unless hee hang alive in chaynes
I hang and dye in lingring paynes.
Theis threads enjoy a double grace,
Both by the gemme and by the place.
My daughters fashioned this necklace for me from Murano beads that once belonged to my grandmother.

You love the roses – so do I. I wish
The sky would rain down roses, as they rain
From off the shaken bush.
George Eliot
I am enjoying the last blooms of my Valentine’s Day roses.
