A student of mystic poetry.and a retired teacher, I currently teach part time. Additionally, I edit books and articles. I love words and languages (wrote and taught a poetry course for elementary school students). Most important in my life are spirituality, meditation, and service (volunteer publicist for several vegfests in the US and UK). Photo is from 2 years ago.

it will bring all the madness you need

I'm separated with 2 children. The legal divorce is (hopefully) close to completion. I also have an older daughter out of the nest living on her own in grad school. I'm a very involved, loving parent.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor by profession. Most of my clients are children and adolescents. I love my work, I’ve been practicing for many years. I'm dedicated to helping improve the lives of my clients and in doing so, improve myself. I get so much from exploring other people's experiences.
I don’t smoke or use any drugs, and I’m allergic to alcohol.
I have an eclectic range of interests. I’m an avid hiker/walker and I also work out frequently. I own a small internet company that sells a backpacking stove I invented and I'm also building a jewelry/wearable art business. Certified in scuba as a rescue diver but don’t get to do that as much as I’d like. I like to go out and socialize. I never stop learning and growing.

I became widowed and retired at about the same time. I really did not have a plan or thought about this circumstance I find myself in. I have avoided eating animals for going on 15 years now. When I considered meeting new people, I found that I am not interested in building new friendships or bonding with people that do not share my thoughts and beliefs about plant-based eating. I am nearly 70, so why waste the effort. I have old friends who just think I'm weird, and have known me long enough to be accepting of my quirks, being vegan is just another one. When I thought about dating again, I decided they must be plant-based, vegan or vegetarian. My sweet wife was all of those at different times. I also wish to only date other widowed people, so it seems like I am asking for a lot. "Well, who doesn't harbour a Hallmark Christmas dream of a Winter Solstice lantern parade to end 2025 with!"

Extroverted, driven, and well-travelled. I grew up on the East Coast, have lived in Ireland, and moved to Portland 9 years ago. Things I enjoy: going to the mountains and the coast, international travel, game nights, coffee shops, bookstores, jiu jitsu, hanging out with friends, random road trips, reading, craft/house projects, having meaningful conversations, emotional intelligence, and challenging myself.

Midwestern-nice homebody who spends most nights with a movie or TV show—horror and sci-fi are favorites. Books and music keep things balanced. I enjoy watching spectator sports, especially baseball, because I can’t play them well. Devoted dog dad to Gus, a mall pet store rescue who runs the household and is terrified of cats. I live in New Jersey and only want to date locally (Eastern PA is fine). Traveling is overrated, and typically, something old is better than anything new.
Dark and dry humor, low-energy evenings, good stories, and someone who can enjoy the same things without forcing excitement are my style. If that sounds like your idea of fun, we’ll probably get along.

I spend a lot of time outdoors. I kayak, hike, bike, birdwatch, and love meeting all my wild neighbors. The year before Covid I also started taking surfing lessons.
I write and advocate for causes I care about and have had some successes. The circus no longer comes to my town, there's a beautiful preserved forest that does NOT have a cell phone tower, there's a large city park where ALL smoking is banned.....
My favorite issues are environmental, animal rights, and those concerning poverty and human rights. I think in another life I must have been a peasant in a peasant uprising.
This might seem odd but for fun I collect trash. My kayak often looks more like a garbage scow as I gather plastics and other trash while kayaking on the river and at the beach. I mostly just find trash but I've found some interesting stuff too, including something the bomb squad had to blow up on the spot. I'm still waiting to find either a briefcase full of half a million dollars of drug money no one claims or a chest of pirate's treasure sticking half out of a sandbar.
I love gardening... for wildlife, for food, for beauty, organically, and with native plants.
I enjoy a variety of things and am always eager to learn new ones. I'm open to suggestions.....
I admire Thoreau, Gandhi, Paul Watson, Ric O'Barry, johnpaulgeorge&ringo, Zonker P. Harris, Jeremy Hilary Boob Phd.......

Epiphanies
The world's most dangerous animal: Homo sapiens
The world's most prevalent religion: self-worship
The world's most popular activity: overeating
Strive to live a simple, nonmaterialistic, meaningful, and purposeful life. I'm a Luddite at heart, reminiscing about the halcyon days when we weren't overdependent on technology. I embrace sechel, not artificial intelligence, and modesty, not social media. 不患莫己知,求为可知也。"Don't fret about not being well-known; instead, strive to be worthy of being known" (Analects, book 4, verse 14). Jewish ideals inform and guide in all aspects of life. These include honesty; respect for the sanctity of all life, which includes being veg*n; not hurting people's feelings or saying negative things about them; shunning gratuitous hatred of those who think differently; giving others the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to do the right thing; concern for the vulnerable and the disabled; having a higher purpose in life, including work; and learning for the sake of learning, including from everyone! But people with similar values come from many paths in life, the ultimate expression of which is being a mensch or, as Confucius termed it, a jūnzǐ (君子), someone who sets an example through his or her actions, which speak louder than words.
Enjoy hiking, being in nature, lizard-watching, learning, artistic creativity, and dry and waggish humor (but not sarcasm). Introverted and sometimes lost in thought, but hopefully thoughtful in more ways than one! Look for ways to help others while avoiding self-serving feelings like validation and pride. Adventurous but also risk-averse.
I live in the desert, which teaches humility, not only because we are dwarfed by the majestic mountains and the expansive valleys but also because we are humbled by the miraculous, mind-blowing adaptations that allow life in all its forms to not merely survive but thrive in the most challenging of environments. Nature can be our teacher and help us improve our character traits.
I stopped practicing clinical medicine 30 years ago when it was no longer possible to do so ethically. My magnum opus has been the definitive treatise on Jewish medicine, a moral, integrated philosophy and system of practice that is free of self-interest and that patients need not fear to enter.
And now, for the final course, mon petit chou, my sweet, here is your fortune cookie: 好话不在多,几句成知己。"Good-hearted words need not be many; just a few can make a close friend."

I have been a vegetarian for several years. I love outdoor activities especially during the summer such as hiking and swimming. Traveling is also one of my interests. I have traveled to South America, Mexico, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Turks and Caicos. I also enjoy seeing movies, reading books, going to concerts and going to museums.
With a bachelor's degree in biological sciences, I worked at first as a lab technician in an environmental lab. Eventually, I received my nursing degree and now work at a local teaching hospital.
I am very family oriented. I try to respect and get along with my parents.

Happy, whole, open-minded, heart-based, hippie-ish, affectionate, self-confident, slightly kinky guy with lots of love to share. Very easy-going, non-judgmental American transplant to Ireland (dual citizenship), so I will always be an outsider/blow-in.
A kind-hearted and very liberal free-spirit, I find great beauty in life and also laugh a lot! A rich and fulfilling sex life is important to me as a way of communication and connection. I like to touch and be touched by those I love.
Currently living a rather low-key, rural life in a beautiful location, alone in a big house with one feline who chooses to be with me.
Reach out and say hello!

I spend half my time on Maui and the rest in Florida, where I own a property. I'm hoping for an LTR/marriage. A perfect life would be a small sandy island in a grass hut - with a wifi connection. That's not asking too much, is it? Reading, writing, swimming, hiking, occasional streaming TV, no sports, but intimate talks, travel. Semi-retired. Have lived in Oregon, Boston, England, Middle East, India, and Africa. Write fiction and non-fiction as a hobby. I want to say we've only come into this life to learn how to love, and it is, oh so very hard. Divorced after a 26-year marriage, so I'm house-trained. I'm not a Christian or a Republican. Don't do guns, hunting, fishing, BBQ's or motorcycles. Don't have any tattoos or piercings, but have been known to tango badly.

I am a decent, intelligent, funny guy who is debt free (except the money pit). I am looking for a warm, honest, responsible, fun, and intelligent woman.
I love movies and documentaries. I prefer anything that expands views or is thought provoking. I also love music, or audio books, and play them whenever my hands are busy working. I love many types, except most rap and some country. I really enjoy 90s alternative rock, 80s, 70s, but am really open to new things, and old... such as classical. Lately, I have been listening to modern techno music while I am working. It is busy but doesn't distract me.
I am looking for someone to do things with, hang out, and develop a relationship. Looking for a life companion rather serial dating... that's not me! You won't find a more generous and caring person, or so I've been told. I'd love to find my new best friend!
Besides a walking the dog every day, I also use my elliptical and weight bench often. I am pretty healthy... knock on wood! I'd love to take day trips, go hiking, play tennis, basketball, rollerblade, or bicycle partner... or just about anything outside!
I own a 5 acre farm that is very relaxing to come home to! Lots of deer, birds, and other wildlife. I have done the city thing and spent a lot of time in NYC. I love it and could adapt to that, but there is nothing like looking out back and seeing no other man-made structure; just woods and animals!
Not vaxed and won’t be, but I don’t judge.

I am a committed, compassionate, and caring man. I am a patient listener and a deep and authentic sharer.
The most important three things to me are God, love, and family, in both this world and the world to come. I profoundly believe that with the right person marriage can be a fortress of well-being.
I have been vegetarian for 35 years, vegan for 30 years. I am a man of deep convictions, self-disciplined, trustworthy, and reliable.
I have an undergraduate degree in mathematics and a graduate degree in computer science. Also, I went to medical school, but withdrew during my clinical rotations because of traumatic circumstances.
I live alone in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southern Virginia with my three small dogs, Faith and her two sons Gentle and Courage (see picture). I teach in human transformation and healing.
I love to sing, dance, and run in the mountains. I am romantic and affectionate. I love with my whole heart ❤️

I love my coffee black with a shot of espresso, hiking, waterfalls, the crackle of a campfire, stargazing, fuzzy sweaters, kisses from my vegan dogs, photography, art, Moscow mules, spades and Texas Holdem. . . if you can get a card game together send me a message right now! I typically spend my free time in hiking and recently I started foraging for mushrooms.
I don't mind spending some time in the kitchen… but it’s more fun cooking with a friend! I love trying out new recipes, but a few favorites include: hoisin-mustard tofu lettuce wraps, tofu bahn mi, sweet potato and black bean enchiladas, zucchini malai kofta, roasted Brussels sprouts, and I make a mean tofu scramble. My current obsession is Indian food. I don't love doing the dishes. :p
Recently I've discovered the joy of living minimalisticly. I've learned that letting go of things that no longer serve me leads to serenity.
I'm a small business owner and I LOVE my profession. It makes me INCREDIBLY HAPPY... but sometimes (mostly seasonally) I work insanely long hours, and I need someone who is understanding of this. I don't see myself relocating my business.
Life is good. :) I have small close group of lifelong friends that are my chosen family. Several of them are vegan who also love to cook, so our gatherings always include lots of vegan food. Together we often enjoy board games, card games, escape rooms, bocce, and campfires.
A few of years ago I met a small group of compassionate people through a mindfulness based meditation group. Together we started a small community giving-garden. It's a project that is close to my heart, and I donate time there at least once a week sometimes more. I love getting my hands in the dirt, learning about gardening, and donating the fruits of our labor to feed the hungry.

I am an avid sea kayaker as soon as it warms a little. I was a NYC*EMS Paramedic in the 80s, a director in a hospital in the 90s and IT network manager from Y2K on till 2017. I have practiced Buddhism since 1995, and am a member of several sanghas. I enjoy talking about Buddhism, consciousness, literature, and from the heart.
I have a great sense of humor, sometimes veering into snark or mild cynicism. (How can we not given the givens?) I am always willing to laugh like hell at a well-intentioned snarky comment about myself.
I also like to bicycle, 20 or 25 miles and I am good.

I wish, you eat more fruits and flowers,
and less (or none!) of meat,
for when you empty your bowels
less stinking will be your shit.
Veggie since 1984, recent years vegan. I Love nature, I really do - not only nice views, or "fishing and hunting" as some claim. I shiver and agonize realizing all the pain, and unrighteousness committed against the living world, and against the vegetarian lifestyle. Malicious, insolent lies, false "scientific" research against vegetarians, and vegetarianism, especially it's more advanced types like vitarianism, veganism, fruitarianism etc. show us, that it's time to stand up and speak up for our rights. Not only ours, but also our "brothers in Darwin", and the rest of the Nature, that is being relentlessly tortured to death. As we see around, the politicians do almost nothing about solving those vital problems, and they quench any initiative to solve them, the "scientific" world works for the corrupted system, from one side proving our rights, and from the other side speaking against them, according to the salary. So we, veggies have to say something. We cannot say now, that "we didn't know about it" as people during WW2 might say about concentration camps. We know too much to keep silent. This is why I wish that connections between our people be established in order to support each-other, especially those who struggle with problems within the family and "friends", at work/school, in discussions about "our way", pointing to the real sources of today's problems, and giving the solutions...

I do tech. I like spirituality, consciousness, being by the ocean, live music, video games, and good food.
I work from home and like staying somewhere for ~3-6 months. I'd like to find a partner to travel with or relocating for someone serious.
I am 6 foot, with no kids, a nice job (I'm fully remote), and a car.
