| About Me
|
|
|
|
I've been living a full and satisfying life for a long time as a single person and yet the draw to relationship lingers. I seek someone similarly committed to their practice who would like to join efforts in crafting hearts both kind and wise. I'm a serious student of the Dharma who meditates daily and strives to integrate practice in daily life. I'm weary of ideological firestorms and am working in my community to build connections and the capacity for empathy. Close friendships are important and I'm fortunate to have many. Other things I love: plants, ospreys, color, bicycles, coffee. |
