Welcome to my Web site!
Mark's Thought's
I think that the
best relationships are free and open spaces where two people can
come together and share their lives: Their hopes and dreams, their
successes and failures, their fears and their futures, all that they
are. In this space you can find understanding and acceptance and
not have to justify how you feel or who you are.
I think that good
relationships come out of the desire to share one's self with
another rather than a desire to have one's needs met. When we come
to another with the expectation that our desires be met we are
almost certain to be disappointed. When we come with a desire to
share, all that we receive is a gift to be enjoyed.
I think this is
true of romances and friendships (although, I think all great
friendships have an element of romance to them.) I am a believer in
passionate, affectionate friendships. I think we, as men, often
miss out on the satisfaction a good friendship can afford because we
were looking for a romance or a sexual relationship.
That is not to say
that I am not interested in sex. In my advancing age (I am 38), I
have come to realize that sex is a poor substitute for love. Sex is
wonderful and I would certainly like to meet someone I could share
myself with in the most profound way. I also must admit that I am a
man who is sometimes led by my physical desires rather than what I
know to be more complete and fulfilling.
I find myself more
attracted to people as a response to the kind of person they are. I
am attracted to kind people who have some depth and passion.
Artistic people hold a fascination for me as well. That is not to
say that physical attraction is unimportant. When I meet someone
that interests me I often feel a stirring that is physical but also
much more than that; It is emotional, intellectual, and social as
well.
Sometimes people
come into your life and you know right away that they
were meant to be
there...to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson
or help figure out
who you are or who you want to become. You never know
who these people
may be but when you lock eyes with them, you know that
very moment that
they will affect your life in some profound way. And
sometimes things
happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful
and unfair, but in
reflection you realize that without overcoming those
obstacles you
would have never realized your potential, strength, will
power or heart.
Let yourself fall
in love, break free and set your sights high. Create your own life
and then go out, live it, and share it with others.
ANOTHER TRAIN COMING
Some other guy will be waiting
I've been sitting here anticipating
For I knew the day would come when you'd leave
That's why you won't find any teardrops
& when you leave, there'll be no coming back
'Cause there's another train comin'
There's another train comin' down that same old track
I thought for sure that you'd leave me
I made up in my mind not to let you grieve me
Mother told me long ago, "If he wants to leave, let him go"
But I won't take you back; there'll be no coming back
'Cause there's another train comin'
There's another train comin'
There's another train comin' down that same old track
Baby, can't you hear me now?
Yeah, there's another train comin'
Oh there's another train comin'
...& fade
