Yusuf Islam
Someone asked me earlier today: "What sort of man would you like to marry?"
The most honest answer I could give was someone like our old friend Cat Stevens, now Yusuf Islam. This man is so articulate and aware and totally at ease with his life and his surroundings. He is, for me at least, kind of ideal.
I think the two most intriguing (& what draws me) characteristics about this man are: (1) the darker parts of his life which have guided him to where he is today (I am not all that seduced by someone who has always been on the 'right path'); and, (2) the strength of character and personality it would take to move from Cat Stevens to Yusuf Islam. The ability to walk away from a life so seductive and so rampant with temptation is perhaps the most unambiguously masculine of what makes him attractive.
There are a lot of boys in this world, but very few men, of which he is one.
