AND THE MAGIC, MYTH, & MYSTERY OF ABSTRACT REASONING |
Historically, Unicorns, have been been associated with love, and in particular with great passion. The idea of the mighty unicorn springs from the darkest mists of ancient history and evolves from that of the horse. The lore of ancient Babylon tells us that mankind evolved from a wild horse, that was itself evolved from the mating of a wild ass and a gazelle. This wild horse was seduced by a beautiful woman....and thus the horse became a man -- a savage man,
who gradually evolved into a gentle lover and acquired a veneer of civilization. But it was only a veneer -- always... the beast -- the stallion -- the creature of might, power, and great prowess lurked beneath the surface. The man within never ceased his longing for a return to the freedom of his days as a wild beast, and so he stalked and captured the horse.... Once mounted upon the creature's back, man and beast melded and became one in mind in spirit; and finally once again was man able to run wild and free.Then came the age of Bronze metallurgy and the making of mighty forged weapons. The masterful horsemen of the steppes rose to new heights of strength and power, as they transformed into tribes of mounted warriors and swept down upon the gentle pastoral societies like ravaging hordes of demons. Man, horse and sword, an all conquering, unholy triumvirate of might and majesty that could only be tamed by a woman's love.
Tradition tells us that unicorns are attracted to the sweet purity and innocence of virgins...and that is perhaps true of young unicorns as yet untested by life or battle. I have two sons and I certainly hope that they are fortunate enough to find some sweet, virginal young lass to share their lives and love forever more. But virginity is a fleeting thing and once those first few hours of true innocence are past, I hope even more that they will have found a woman worthy of them in all the ways that matter most,and sustain one through time and circumstance.
As for me, I cannot envision sharing my life with a man who could find any great pleasure with an innocent, young girl. I cannot envision having any common ground on which to build a meaningful relationship with a such a man, and to be honest I cannot imagine such a man being long content with a woman such as myself. I prefer my unicorns and my men with that touch of dashing silver that comes only with a certain degree of age, experience and maturity, and I believe that a man who would genuinely appreciate me, would probably have as little in common with a much younger woman as I would have with a much younger man...but to each their own!
However, in the name of justice and fair play let me say here and now for the record that I have a couple of good friends who are the exception that proves the rule. There is a substantial age difference between them and I for one never thought it would work out when they met (pre internet, but via modem) over eight years ago. I was wrong...they've spent those past eight years together in a euphoric state of absolute mutual bliss. If ever there were two people who were fated to be together forever....
So I leave you with a smile, and a wink, and this blessing...
