i have recently moved to a condo that has 18 windows overlooking a beautiful river that lulls me to sleep at night and the sun rising through the trees awakens me. the birds soar in and out of the clouds. at night the stars twinkle and i can see the outline of the tree tops on my wall.
i will soon be in this space alone as my youngest child heads off to college.
i would like to find a lover, but it will have to be a special person that shares this new sacred space with me, even momentarily. i am done with the casual stuff. true passion flows from intimate knowledge, shared vision, risk-taking behaviors, and a willingness to soar, not tiptoe through life.
i guess that is what is tough at my age- to find a man that will risk, after all, we have all been burned or we wouldn't be single.
life will be interesting, no matter what, and every day i have this beautiful space to be in- i am happy here.

Win, hey, I found you, too:)
I agree with your definition of passion. The greatest risk, which is not even a risk, is to make a decision to really be with another person, instead of leaving the door open for other possibilities. But we are only human. I think the timing should be right, sounds like you are ready to meet someone who's "for real." And it can be someone you least expect. Different age, different background, different everything. I have learned lately that one shouldn't dismiss anyone who seems "out of one's league" on external prerequisites - if it feels right, one should go for it, instead of assuming it won't work.
Thanks Rina,
this week I'm concentrating on getting through the sale of the house, and getting back to work.
Being an empty nester and having made my moves a few years earlier, I can certainly understand the changes you're facing. I hope you're settling in.
