gentleness

Tea has been posting things she's grateful for, and tonight the word gentle made the list twice- once in reference intimate friendships and once in reference to gentlemen. Lately this is something I crave. In meeting a lot of men of lately, I feel like that's a quality I instantly seek out and get drawn into. Even in the students I meet, I connect to the ones who are very messed up because they have gentle, sensitive souls that are touched by every influence around them. It's something I want to see in a man's eyes.

Something I'm grateful for tonight-- the moments you hear a Neil Young song, stop whatever you're doing, and close your eyes to sway a little bit. His voice goes right to my soul and makes me quit motion.

gentleness is an immensely attractive quality in a man. i know I had a post a while back about gentle women and strong men, but i think we'd both agree that a good mix of gentleness and strength in a man is very desirable.
