Eventually...Christ.In the here and now, however, I would like to meet anyone and anything of substance and beauty. There is so very much in this world to learn and experience, that not to do so would be an insult to one's intellect, and a great loss in their life.However; I am human, and therefore susceptible to the occassional whim of fantasy: Mozart, J. S. Bach (and his sons), Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, F. J. Hayden, Albinez, Debusy,Puccini, Verdi, Rossini, Massenet; Michelangelo, Caravagio, Monet, Degas, Raphael, Gauguin, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Marc Chagall; Renee Fleming, Kiri Te Kanawa, Placido Domingo, Maria Callas, George Michael, Ricky Martin, Enio Morriconi, Enrique Iglesias, The Celtic Woman, Jim Brickman, George Winston, Charlotte Church, Josh Groban, Harry Connick, Jr., Richard Clayderman; Socrates, Plato, Homer, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Emily Dickenson, Anne Tyler, Laura Hillenbrand, Isabel Allende, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Guiseppe Lampedusa; Secretariat, A. P. Indy (actually, we have met, so to speak), Barbaro; a world free of hatred and polarization and a human race capable of love, patience, knowledge, and tolerance.
