About Me:
About Me
Allah'u'abha! my name is Mark, a lifetime Baha'i 62 years young. A January 12th Capricorn. I come from a very well known Baha'i family. My mother heard about the Faith from Carole Lombard, and became a Baha'i in 1950. My father was an Auxiliary Board Member for 25 years. Grew up in Beverly Hills, and Laguna Beach, Ca. Have had 2 careers which have taken me worldwide for decades; International Travel/Aviation, and the automobile business (as a dealer).I've been at the pinnacle of success and crashed down to the bottom of the abyss of tests. Traveled extensively all my of my life (including Iran in 1967!)and consider myself a true world citizen. Have lived in California, Oregon, Idaho, Santa Fe NM, Hong Kong and Singapore. In reality, I am truly far more European than American in my tastes, outlook, passions. My exposure in this life has been vast. A true renaissance man and somewhat of a bon-vivant gentleman in the tradition of Cary Grant though sadly I do not look like him. Decidedly old school in my tastes. Most favourite place in the world? The Cote D'Azur... Passions include Scampi, my Chilean deer Chihuahua; the great ocean liners (Like the original "Queens") ; classic cars like '59 Cadillacs,(I was a dealer of such for 31 years) movies of the 50s-70s, reading real books, travel, the ocean, interior décor, and yes, fashion! I have written a book on my childhood tests. Have 2 grown sons not living with me. I am not a techie. I do use the internet for business, but I believe in being present in the moment of "real" life, not "virtual" as a spectator. My cell phone is for calls. I consider myself quite spiritual but not on an "ethereal cloud". That said, being a Baha'i for my entire life I strive to serve humanity each and every day according to the principles of our Beloved Faith. I am a person who strives for the highest integrity, discipline and personal standards. I was raised, and have embraced the concept both in the Material and Spiritual paths of life to "Pace lead by example". This is my mandate. Being imperfect, sometimes I don't reach the highest heights, but I believe that if you raise your personal bar as high as possible-even if you don't make it, you still tend to jump higher. The Hands of the Cause are my heroes-that should say a lot. I have had the honor of knowing and serving many of them in my youth-those memories of those August souls keep me "Clinging to the Hem of The Robe"... Oh, and very important; I am an emotionally stable person who lives the principle of equality of men and women and defends it zealously! I have been married (more than once), and have been alone for several years. Quite frankly, despite my lovely canine companion, I am tired of the "aloneness". It's been a long time since I have had romance and felt the carefree abandon of sharing Love and passion and feel I deserve one more turn. With Loving Baha'i Greetings, and every good wish for your personal search, Mark
