I'm a lingering intellectual. I enjoy languages--including the finer points of English, humor, music, walking along picturesque paths.
I've lived overseas some 11 years which gives me a slightly different cut on life. But, I was born in the US heartland and carry Midwestern genes, with liberal progressive values.

Creative. Author. Well. Fit. Cerebral. Humor. My life experiences are deep and extraordinary and I can't help it. my work as an author and private practice counselor is a labor of love.
I am both a confident alpha leader type who is also sensitive and can adapt to nearly anything and get along. My sense of humor is of wit and I can have fun with the serious and be serous with the frivilous. Life is far too mysterious to be take so serous!
I'm a helping professional and an author and a polymath. I like open road adventures and quiet intimacy too. I love romance and being romantic. I like to hold more than be held if that makes sense.

I love writing, biking, walking, hiking, doing Taichi, preparing a nutritious meal, gardening, sewing, and observing nature. I try to live with mindfulness. I like to live a simple, yet meaningful life. I would like to develop my fullest potential in this lifetime and be able to contribute to the world ...
I wrote the following article on September 10, 2025, at 12:22 PM
>>> Your emotions determine your happiness, and
Your happiness determines your life.
Since my best friend, Dougald, left this world on June 28th this year,
My sadness hasn't diminished even a single day.
But the times of sadness have gradually decreased.
Most of us have feelings.
When we're sad, we don't need to resist it,
But rather understand why we're sad.
This experience of losing a dear friend
Has made me feel immense regret for his short life!
Because he was such a kind person!
Many say that for every effect, there's a cause.
Perhaps his early passing was due to this causal relationship.
I understand very well how the law of attraction works.
When you're happy,
The vibration you emit attracts things related to happiness.
When you're sad, you attract similar things that make you sad.
When you're angry, you attract similar things that make you angry.
... and so on.
So, to have a fulfilling life, the vibration you emit is crucial!
You can be sad, but don't let it persist for too long.
Learn how to transform sadness into strength.
When you're feeling down, realize that
Most people don't know how to control their emotions.
If you could handle it with a relaxed attitude, they wouldn't affect you.
Impermanence is a normal part of life; there's no need to lament it.
The important thing is to accept impermanence and strive to do what you love.
It will make you want to live a more meaningful, fulfilling, and joyful life!

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 ❤️

After giving this some thought I came to a realization; Nothing I put here can tell you anything about me. Sure some very basic things but it would be like answering a complicated question with a simple answer. It's not that I am complicated either. There's more to me and you than "i'm a smart happy...etc"
If you want to know about me get to know me. Unfortunately you can't know about a person by just reading about them, especially if they are the Authors. As far as I'm concerned this section should be eliminated unless there's some proof of it's authenticity.
However some facts would help perhaps.
I don't drink alcohol( last time i did was 16 years ago), I don't smoke(last time i did was 13 years ago, I don't cuss( 4 years so far) And I am not a religion fanatic. Everything I am is because of my own will.
I don't have friends, though anyone can consider me their friend. I don't rely on anyone but my self. I enjoy my own company. Some people think that sounds lonely. But I think that maybe it's because they have a bit of loneliness in them.
I always have an open mind. I believe that's crucial in growing as a person. But I don't think of it as a ticket to do everything that you're curious about or everything others bring upon you.
But then again what do I know.

i have been living in South America for the past 7 years. I moved to URUGUAY because, among other reasons, I needed to stimulate my brain by doing things way out of the ordinary. I travel a LOT, and I like to try to figure out how to make vegan versions of ethnic cuisine ( although a lot of food when I travel thru Asia, already IS vegan )

Originally from the U.K., now living in the U.S. I am a youthful, fun- loving person who loves to be at one with animals and nature. I'm on a healing path, playing my part in creating a better world for all to share in the knowledge that all healing begins first with the individual.
Music is important in my life - rarely a day goes by when I don't listen to music of one kind or another - from rock to classical - feel blessed to have grown up in the Beatles era. I love to dance to uplifting stuff ( eg 'The Gypsy Kings ) ,but I love beautiful classical music - my favourite piece is Camille Saint-Saens piano concerto No.2 in G minor - sometimes majestic, sometimes playful ( as in the 2nd movement) ! I had piano lessons as a child and reached a pretty good standard - then 'life' took over , though I'm determined to start playing again.
This is my favourite poem ....
LEISURE
WHAT is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?—
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
W.H.Davies
Let me describe what a great relationship looks like to me.....
MY partner and I understand that honest and open communication is vital. We want to enjoy the process of getting to know each other. No subject is off limits and we feel free to answer each others' questions openly and honestly and feel that the other values that honesty ( meaning, we don't 'try to say the right thing' , but speak our truth ). We accept that we may not always agree, but respect our differences - it would be a boring world if we were all the same eh ! We enjoy sharing life's simple pleasures - the most precious times would be those spent quietly together just talking ( or not) and feeling the love. And last but not least - we share fun times and lots of laughter !

I'm a single vegan woman who has “danced” through 64 years of life. My passions, my loves include, but are far from limited to: my ginger feline, film, Dance, depth psychology, halloween. I delight in and revere nature, cliffs, forests, feminist witchcraft, progressive politics, cuddles and hugs. I have a strong life of the senses. I'm a lover of basil, architecture, theater, pignoli, music, costumes, noodles, illustration, fine art. I give very high priority to friendship, in-depth conversation, intimacy, laughter, gentle mutual regard. Monogamy is my style. I'm dedicated to acting in integrity. I'm a novelty-seeking creature, who appreciates curiosity. I've a knack for the dramatic. And can be utterly and completely silly.

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!"

I am a Jill of all trades ; genrrally turn my hand to whatever is required.
I am a former police officer but now try to help those I dealt with by volunteering for a drug and alcohol abuse service
I am an RNLI crew member which is challenging and extremely fulfilling.
I try to Surf though my kids kick my ass at it !!
I have dogs and horses and am a former demon biker until having kids which resulted in a self preservation reality check !
I don't watch TV but could be tempted by Father Ted...
I have been a vegetarian for 40 years and a vegan for 6 months.....just wish I had awoken sooner.

Run on plants, fueled by caffeine and fresh air. 🏃♂️💨

I'm retired, vegetarian since 1994, care about my health and the that of the planet and it's inhabitants. I'm non-materialistic, a skilled craftsman, adore animals, love to be outdoors exploring the Earth and it's cultures. Quiet and laid-back, lean toward the road less traveled and anti-technology in some ways. Forests, quiet coastlines, deserts, hot springs, streams and waterfalls, modern progressive cities, I love to explore off the 'beaten path'. I'm open to relocating (especially outside the USA!), and the ideal life would include a peaceful, quiet, private rural location, a few companion animals, a big organic garden, and plenty of free time to enjoy life and to travel. Our Life would be centered around living and enjoyment--being active in biking, hiking, kayaking, snow sports, or any combination involving exploration of culture and the world. Since retiring in 2020 I have filled some of my time with Australian Shepherd rescue and fostering, currently five in my home only one is a foster. ;)
Interests:
Mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, snowboarding-skiing-shoeing, snorkeling, gardening, cooking, repairing and building things, live music festivals, exploration and adventure travel, camping, hot spring soaks, dancing [contra, etc], motorcycling, renewable energy, green building, reading, music, playing with my canine friends!
Current plans are finishing a custom camper I have been building the past year, then explore S America!

Hello!
I'm a healthy and active seasoned woman.
I've spent most of my life in California...kept moving north and now live in Washington State. Worked as an outside sales rep before becoming an elementary school teacher. For most of my career I taught music education, also 2nd and 3rd grades. Happily retired since 2012.
I have two sons and four adorable grandchildren, and enjoy being part of their lives and watching them all grow.
I love to walk in beautiful natural settings, exploring new places, spending time with like-minded folks, listening to live music, attending plays, and engaging in meaningful conversations. I'd love to see all the National Parks and travel throughout the US as well as other countries.

I am currently in Washington state, but not glued to my location. Would consider anywhere on the West Coast or possibly out of the country. I’m 37, atheist, don’t want children, left leaning but try not to follow politics for my own mental wellbeing. Was vegetarian for almost 10 years, then vegan for 5 and have gone back and forth between mostly plant based and vegan for the last 10 (I do currently eat honey and local ranch eggs as long as they are from free foraging chickens)
I have a Standard Poodle who goes everywhere with me. We enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, biking, kayaking/paddle boarding or just spending the day reading and playing by the river. We also train and compete in several dog sports, including agility and nosework. She is NOT vegan lol.
I’m really not a city person, but I do enjoy grabbing a drink or dinner downtown and watching live music. I am generally easy going, quick witted, a bit sarcastic and not at all politically correct, so I prefer those who don’t take themselves or life too seriously to laugh at it all.
I would love to convert a school bus into a badass off grid mobile home and travel all over the US and elsewhere. I haven’t worked out any of the details yet, nor do I have the skills to do a DIY conversion, but a girl can dream 🤣 It would be really cool to potentially find a partner with a shared interest in such an endeavor and make this a reality!

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 kind, irreverent, funny, atypical, and constantly in awe. I passionately love the outdoors, particularly the wilderness. Am a world traveler with a particular interest in Asia (Nepal, Tibet, India, Indonesia) though no exotic far flung trips for awhile and nothing imminent - well I did just return from India but that was work related. I play mandolin (traditional Irish, old-timey, bluegrass, folk, blues, improv) guitar (classic rock, blues, improv), a bit of Irish bouzouki, tenor banjo, and the (once upon a time) sitar (pseudo Hindustani Indian classical), tiny bit of gamelan (pseudo Balinese/Javanese) all the above with varying degrees of some modicum of competence or lack thereof ....). Love film, art, photography, music, reading, snuggling, bicycling, always looking for a kayaking partner?!?!. A long-time history of political/environmental/peace/social justice activism. Am kind, compassionate, open-minded, respectful, strong-willed (stubborn?) but accommodating, communicative (most times), funny, playful, irreverent, honest with integrity, affectionate and comfortable with intimacy. For me nothing is more spiritual than being out in the wilds of nature, backpacking or hiking in the mountains, the canyons of the Southwest, along the ocean, strolling in old growth forests, frolicking in the Himalayas. I'm a long-time vegetarian and vegan. Long hair, short beard.
Oh, and even though I am 5'7" - in your imagination I am much, much taller!
