What a Man

I once met a man of great integrity.  He was timeless,
with no constraints, restrictions or illusions.  He was to
be as seen, no distortions, with perceptual consistency, 
without misrepresentation or delusion, guiltless, forthright,
sincere, candid, open, trusted, honorable, square, just,
upright, fair genuine, straightforward and frank. He really
was an all-round good guy.  Funny though, for the life
of me, I just can't seem to remember his name...

Brilliant. I was thinking I'd like to meet this man. Last line was perfect. Nicely penned. A great joy to read.

A possible example of reality gone awry? It was meant to be a little tongue in cheek. Thanks for responding to it...Charlie
