|
|
Serious buddhist, who laughs easily and enjoys photography, travel, and art. Ive lived in California for 20 years, and have recently moved back to the east coast to be closer to family. I am active and enjoy hiking, and meditating in nature, painting as well as heart felt sharing and communication. I enjoy meaningful and interesting conversations. I read a lot of dharma related books, I practice in the Tibetan buddhist tradition, it is a very important part of my life. The most important quality in others is the expression of care and compassion. I really love when someone goes out of there way to be kind in unexpected ways, that really inspires. I have an adventure cat who goes most places with me theses days. |
