| About Me
|
|
|
Artistically inclined (Photographer, Writer, Assemblageur, Mail Art)
Spiritually oriented (Buddhist, Renewal Judaism, Sufism, Shamanic, Daimista, Human, Love)
Nature oriented/inspired
Mostly a cup half full/cup runneth over kind of guy
Athletic
Smart
Funny
Kind
Explorer (inner & outer, urban & natural)
Eclectic
Loyal
Nightowlish
Veganish Vegetarian
Curious, in both senses of the word
I study & teach Meditation & Yoga. Am a Master Level Reiki practitioner. Have a Spiritual Counseling practice. Writer & photographer.
Tend to be on the quiet side, though am a good listener and ask good questions.
Like very much new experiences & learning new things.
I pet every dog I see (who will let me) and give money to most folks on the street who ask (usually engaging them in conversation)
Originally from Iowa, though no longer a rube, TYVM. Have lived in LA (x3), NYC (x3), Santa Fe (x2) & Brussels, Belgium (where I moved for Love). Back in Iowa now.... My, how a body gets around....
Never married, once "divorced" (not bitter). No kids. Though good with kids. And Moms. And pets. And plants.
I have a powerful memory (blessing & curse)....
I am not as serious as I appear....
Looking for Home...and all that entails.... A place, a garden, bees, a dog.... Home
I am primarily interested in someone who is interested in waking up: fully living Life, exploring, Practicing/On A Path.
For what it is worth: Am drawn to & resonate with Women who were either not born here or have lived abroad or traveled a lot. I dunno...that something the French say, that certain "I do not know what". But it ain't a thing.
Smart, Fun & Funny, Open, Honest/Genuine. Present. Open. Vulnerable. Strong. On some Path. Makes some Art. Balanced. Be the Child of Light that you are. Be yourself. Just be unconventional, in a together/sane way. Sees this rare opportunity to be alive as a way to wake up!, grow & evolve, change the World somehow AND have a Hell of a good time. Interest-ed/ing. Fascinat-ed/ing. Curious, in both senses of the word.
On some Path, let me say more...If you are into looking below the surface, then we should get on smashingly.... Are You Experienced?: Yoga, Meditation, Santo Daime, Tantra, Art/Creative ventures, Social Work/Caring Profession/Teaching, Health & Healing. Again, ain't a thing. Just a druther/resonance....
Someone (but not just anyone) to share this Journey….someone with whom to make it up as we go along with (hopefully) a mix of passion/libido, awareness, honesty, presence & laughing all the way ha-ha-ha-ha
