wanderers, dreamers and lovers...

'Some people do not have to search,
for they find their niche easily in life
and rest there seemingly
contented
and resigned.
At times I envy them,
but usually
I do not understand...
and seldom
do they understand me.
I am one of the searchers.
There are, I believe, millions of us.
We are not unhappy,
but neither are we
completely content.
We continue to
explore life,
hoping to uncover
its ultimate secret.
We continue
to explore
ourselves
hoping
to understand.
We like to
walk along
the beach,
we are drawn by
the ocean,
taken by its power
and unceasing motion,
its mystery
and unfathomable beauty.
We like
forests,
mountains,
deserts,
hidden rivers
and lovely cities
as well.
Our sadness is
as much a part of our lives
as our laughter;
to share our sadness
with the ones we love
is perhaps as great a joy as we know.
Unless it is to share our laughter.
We searchers
are ambitious,
only for life itself..
and anything beautiful
it can provide.
Most of all,
we want to love
and be loved,
to live in a relationship
that will not impede
our wanderings
and prevail
our search.
We do not want
to prove ourselves
to others
or compete for love.
This passage is for
wanderers,
dreamers,
and lovers
who dare to ask of life..
everything
which is authentic
and beautiful.'
