| About Me
|
|
|
I'm kid-like, playful, spunky....searching for the man who aligns/resonates with these values/lifestyle....
Being in nature is my cathedral: laying at the base of old-growth forests, hiking alpine meadows, alpine glow, early wildflowers in the spring, silent cross country skiing on moonlit nights, coyotes howling, swimming with green turtles, petting the soft nose of an elk....
Outward Bound Instructor/outdoor adventurer turned therapist/ naturalist and director of an environmental organization working on climate change.
Spiritually hungry since childhood....thru eastern thought/ Himalayan expeditions, monasteries, meditation, Landmark Education, deeply digging into the contents of the mind only to ultimately find that occasionally, when my mind is very quiet, I can experience an elegant sense of connection to all of life.
I long to create, together, a vital, dynamic vision for this last stage in life with a purpose bigger than us, in the context of "awareness", a partnership that accelerates our spiritual growth. Let's take all that we've learned so far and make this last one the best of all! Being together, we feel like we've come "home", a sweet tender familiarity; aligned.
I imagine our sustainable home, living in a natural setting that inspires us/not a city. A part of the planet to nurture. Animals to love.
Together, we sit in silence and experience our connection to each other and life.
We:
~ turn towards each other not away when we start "reacting"
~ live our meditation practice by pausing before reactions
~ bring compassion to each other's sensitivities/wounds
~ bring humor and honesty to our partnership
~ take the fruits of our meditation practice into the relationship and give our love to the world as service.
I'm searching for a long-term relationship or marriage partner who is AVAILABLE! &
~ Has a strong meditation practice
~ Financially secure
~ Green, liberal, vegetarian would be nice
~ Very affectionate
~ Wants a rural lifestyle
You are DEVOTED TO BEING AWARE, vulnerable, curious about your own mind, adaptable, nurturing. You want a best friend/lover to laugh and play alongside streams, hike, ride our horses, garden, explore new birds/wildflowers, critters; eat healthy foods, stay in shape. You are a seasoned hiker, well-traveled adventurer, powerfully gentle.
You require radical honesty, integrity, profound communication, and complete transparency. ... You know that you are the author of your life. You have passionate concerns about our environment and climate change.
You don't smoke/do drugs, very limited drinker, non-hunter.....
You make me laugh and laugh and laugh, especially at myself.
"In truth we are not separate from each other or from the world, from the whole earth, the sun or moon or billions of stars, not separate from the entire universe. Listening silently in quiet wonderment, without knowing anything, there is just one mysteriously palpitating aliveness."
