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 writer and a politically progressive person and an advocate for animal rights. I enjoy working out, coffee houses, and browsing used bookstores and thrift shops. Watching animals live free in the nearby nature preserve is nice and relaxing. I enjoy well-made films and television programs. I am empathetic, a good listener, and a hopeless romantic.

I'm a work in progress/process. My friends describe me as kind, perceptive, respectful and genuine. I lived and was raised in the rural area of Muscatine, IA (from 1954-1974) along the Mississippi River where most of the food we ate was organic (before it actually became labeled organic as it is now) and drank free, unfiltered spring-fed water (before bottled water got popular) while growing up…FYI, I was one of the last of the fortunate school kids to have attended real, authentic one-room country schoolhouses with a real outhouse(!), outdoor hand-pump for well water, the school bell to ring, the American flag to raise and actually SAY the pledge of allegiance to the American flag inside and say the Lord's Prayer all together…Wonderful, cherished, youthful memories...

Just to give you a small taste of my flavor, here are a few of my LIKES (in no particular order): NPR/PBS; Dar Williams, Natalie Maines, and Susan Werner; sleep; cycling; Woody Allen movies; Thai food; compassion; public transportation; being quick to forgive and to ask forgiveness; science fiction; Sebastiao Salgado; "This American Life" and "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me"; campaign finance reform; secondhand stores; feminism, J.S. Bach and Orlando di Lasso; and "The Daily Show."
And here are a few DISLIKES: the death penalty; using cell phones while driving; celery; cockiness; flakiness; SUVs; baseball and football; handguns; gas-powered leaf-blowers; cold jeans on cold mornings; foreign policy based on maintaining America's standard of living; bestseller ~The Secret~; and Creationism.
I have the heart of a thrill-seeker but the head of an actuary. This keeps me out of trouble (e.g., no STDs) but also leaves me frustrated a lot of the time.
A note about travel: I like to take foreign trips as much as the next person. Indeed, I was born overseas, so you might say I got the travel bug as a congenital parasite. But I’ve also become aware over the last few years of the disproportionate damage that traveling by jet does to the environment, especially in terms of global warming. Although I do still take planes, I try to take fewer trips and stay for longer periods. So I would much prefer one monthlong trip overseas to several spontaneous weekend trips to Hawaii, Mexico, or the Caribbean.
It amazes me sometimes that given all the things that can keep people apart, two people ever find their way to each other. My feelings on the subject are pretty well summed up in the following lyrics (by Neil Peart) from a Rush song:
I don't believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fate
I don't believe in forever
Or in love as a mystical state
I don't believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance we can find someone to love
And make it last

Over the past few years I've been focusing on energy and breathing using imagry, crystals, Tai Chi, Feng Shui, Tapping and EMDR therapy. I've also discovered don Miguel Ruiz, a writer who has enabled me to gain wisdom and peace. He has written many books, including The Four Agreements, The Mastery of Love, and many others. I like to commune with nature often taking walks in the neighborhood and at nature parks.

I am looking for an intelligent, sensitive woman who laughs easily, still believes in love and romance, loves and respects the lives of animals, and finds great refuge in the natural world. I am a fully vaccinated artist and lover of the outdoors, I make art, write, play music, work for my beliefs, care deeply about making a difference while I'm here. I am quiet and gregarious, verbal and enjoy silence. Being in love on a star-filled night sounds wonderful to me.
I am a warm, friendly, outgoing man, articulate, self-confident but humbly aware of all I can yet grow to be. I know that even with the deeply fulfilling life I've already had, the experiences and journey of what's yet to come can be amazing. I'm want a meaningful relationship to build a sense of home and family together, deeply integrated into the lives we have already built. I believe myself to be a very ethical and caring person, a great friend to those I love and respectful to those I encounter. I am a sensitive and strong man, who loves to work with my mind, my soul and my hands. I love laughter and song, and am passionate about moving around the natural world exploring its beauty.
I am an artist who values beauty more than riches, passion more than just going along and I am determined to make a positive difference while I'm here. I've been politically involved since I was 12, simply because I cared and probably because I still believe in what America can be. I love to be outdoors, hike, camp, travel & come to know the world. I've been a vegetarian since age 13 (vegan now) as it seems morally wrong to kill animals. I admire Gandhi, Camus and have been moved by John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Neil Young. I love folk, rock & roll, jazz and blues, Chopin, Vaughn-Williams, Satie, Taj Mahal, Jimmy Reed, Terry Allen, Tom Russell, Linda Ronstadt, Billie Holliday, Robert Johnson, Keith Jarrett. I play guitar & piano without great skill but play and write with great passion.
.
I love making a home, tuning it to be a place refuge and joy. I deeply enjoy cooking together and sharing
Reading The Overstory. I hope for romance, but also friendships.

I'm a typical liberal arts person and an atheist. As to the atheist part, I think there's something much smarter than us in the universe, but it's been awfully quiet. I like eating at vegan restaurants, there are several within a few minutes of me. Often I'm quiet, sometimes not, it depends on the situation. I like to be witty and can get in a Monty Python mode if someone is receptive to it. I'll talk about anything but run from someone who wants to argue. I'm creative and always need some kind of project, usually it's writing or music. Most people like music, but I am a bit of a nut about blues, rock, and jazz. I've written some clever songs, IMHO. I'm flexible and will usually do anything others want to do, but I'm not big on travel, especially long trips. I've always been aware that my life is finite and I should live it fully, yet it has been simpler things like spending time with animals and nature that have met that need the most. I like people but am more comfortable in one-on-one conversations than in groups.

I began my vegan journey in the late 1980s for ethical reasons. Since then I have embraced all the other reasons. They are all good. I am an engineer and think like one, for better or worse. I try to live by the idea of leaving the planet a little better place than I found it. I enjoy nature: whether the woods, the mountains, or the beach. I am always reading something (usually history, current affairs, science, science-fiction, or metaphysics). I enjoy games and puzzles along with sports and working out. Generally I am pretty easy going unless it involves principles. Then I can get a little worked up. But I do have a clowning around side; although it usually takes a little while to come out.

I'm an independent, happy go lucky, down to earth Aussie chic who thinks that the best things in life are free!
I like to think that one needs to learn from their mistakes, and that perhaps things happen for a reason.
My loved ones mean the world to me and I enjoy spending time with them.
My friends would describe me as a fun & funny, intelligent sassy chic who is loyal and honest. *geezers... perhaps i should just ask my friend to write the rest of this blurb for me* :) lol
I think that I'm ready to meet people and see if we click or not. Of course, needless to say, it is imperative to have chemistry. :). Should there be no chemistry, then what's another friend eh?... Always happy to meet like minded people.
I believe that it is better to be alone, than being with the wrong person.
I prefer live music over clubbing, however could be persuaded.. I appreciate most music from 80's, RnB to jazz. Just as long as it's not heavy metal. Like most, I enjoy movies, festivals to snuggling up with a good novel with either a glass of vino or a nice hot cuppa.

I studied nutrition but my work is in the legal area. I enjoy my dog, gardening, reading and walking, being outside, always learning, open-minded. Are you vaccinated? What a platform to start a conversation here. I certainly agree that animal research for vaccines is wrong, wrong, wrong. Sometimes we have to go outside our comfort zone. I am sure if I were younger, I would stand by morals and not take a vaccine that may contain animal and has been tested on animals. I guess we all go through phases at different times in our lives and sometimes our views change. In Islam, their belief is that if you consume an animal, and it is prayed over, it will be used for wellness and holiness in the person consuming it.
