| About Me
|
|
|
Mating in the Now; Open to the Flow; Witness; Love loving through Us.
Life is short in the earth school, let's embrace what's yet to learn and share.
I offer compassion, attentiveness, awareness, mindfulness, honesty, humility, curiosity and smiles. I'd like a partner who offers similar characteristics. My spiritual practice includes daily meditation and reflection/writing. I practice Zen, but have studied and value many other traditions.
I am a nature lover, especially enjoying oceans and mountains. Yoga, bicycling, hiking, sailing are some of my favorite activities. I also enjoy the simple pleasures of householding and am content to
relax in the spaciousness of wherever home is. |
