Hello. I thoroughly enjoy life. Not a goal setter. I believe in meeting what comes to me. I’m not sure it’s a good idea to be seeking a friendship/relationship in this way, but my sister encouraged me, so I see this as meeting life as it comes:) It would be nice to meet a kindred spirit, as they say. I have been studying and doing my best to practice Zen Buddhism for 30 years. I sit daily. I envision meeting someone with a Buddhist or Taoist… Unitarian way of looking at (and living) this life. I’m very active… outside as much as I can be. I get my own firewood in from log-length and take care of all that needs to be done on my 16 acres up here in the mountains. I love to hike, paddle and ride my motorcycles. I’m an introvert. I love people. I am probably the most optimistic person you know. Maybe we all live the fullest and most true life possible. |
