A Quest for Love Thomas J Doonan

Love is not a thing nor an object to be measured. Love has no clock as it travels through time. Bartholomew Hunter's quest for companionship and love has chaperoned him through twenty years of frustration. His tidiness, imagination, and indecision in life, are punctuated by a failure in love. One day entities fleetingly seen, and experienced, tug on Bart's heart to complete the wholeness of his life. What he sees is not what is. He turned forty to begin his new dream job and to ready for what he declared will be his last blind date in the quest for a woman to be his wife. A darling new barista, lunch with his new boss, and a new pickup truck are mere checkmarks through the day toward the encounter. On meeting Leda he was floored by her extraordinary beauty. At dinner he was swept away by her charm and eagerness to pursue the relationship. His quest for love was at an end. He had found his mate. Unbeknown to Bart she was from another life of his. It is she who arranged the date and snared the catch. He's seduced and lassoed in his final attempt to complete "The Circle of Life," never knowing he succeeded.
