| About Me
|
|
|
Greetings! I grew up on Cape Cod but have been living in Canada for more than two decades. The ocean stills beckons and I return there often. If you enjoy taking long walks along the shore, we already have something in common! I am dedicated to my family and those close to me. I am passionate about nature, music and spirituality. I have been a student of meditation for close to 40 years. I approach life with a spirit of gratitude and a healthy dose of humor. I would enjoy meeting a person who shares similar interests. One who enjoys the simple pleasures and is apt to find grace, beauty and meaning in little details others over look. If you are a seeker with a playful and compassionate heart, I would enjoy connecting with you.

What brought me to my spiritual path and motivated my interest...

From the time I was a child, I sensed there was a spiritual dimension beyond this so-called physical world. I could almost touch it, but only briefly. As a young adult, that sensation, that need to know and to experience, became an insatiable, all-consuming imperative; I couldn't go on living without knowing. And just when I thought I couldn't go any further, I found myself in the company of a living poet saint who blessed me with the practical, mystical insight I was so desperately seeking.

Connecting to something greater than myself, Finding happiness and peace within, Helping me cope with the struggles of life, Building a personal relationship with God, Instilling morality and virtues, Belonging to a like-minded community, Helping me grow as a person
