I run 4 half-marathons a week. Can you keep up? (worry not-that's why the gods gave us bicycles!) The point is, I've energy & ambition, do you? Middle age isn't time to slow down but to accomplish lots with our acquired wisdom while having quality fun & meaningful relationships with each other, the earth, and our spirituality
Bedridden by an accident for 2007, neurologists sentenced me to crutches for life. Their bleak prognosis to proposed spinal surgery was unacceptable! My response: diet, meditation, & 14-hour days of physical therapy. I can now walk all day, and run for hours. This characterizes my purpose, perseverance, & hard work -qualities I pledge to the longevity of our relationship and your happiness
You of course needn't run marathons, but please be ambitious and committed to active youthful habits. Born in the 50s I’m now saying bye to my 50s but not to the activities & energy of past decades. You shouldn’t be too much older or younger than I, and you should burn to SHARE and nurture a fit lifestyle
I'm a:
~musician/composer
~bilingual repatriated expat (temporarily I hope)
~writer, translator & linguist
~entrepreneur
~longtime follower of alternative medicine/nutrition
~builder, remodeler, repairman
~broken-hearted & betrayed, BUT optimistic & loving
~convalescing fitness & health buff
~teacher
~spiritually perseverant & inquisitive
~software programmer
~above all: a hopeless romantic & idealist
How do I add meaning to the oft-asked "What am I/what do I do?" I'm at a crossroads. Past success at these life-styles bless me with the freedom to now choose which, if any, I wish to resume. I can't simultaneously practice them all, so help me choose! Would you rather live with a translator or a farmer? A house builder or an intellectual? A musician or a monk? Mix & match!
Bio:
~Pacific Northwest childhood, infatuated with arts, crafts, building, & nature
~adolescence conquering the wilds of Canada, living self-sufficiently off the land (as a vegan!)
~a decade in Mexico where I taught languages & music and started medical studies (Western AND alternative) but married/had kids instead of finishing
~a decade slaving for (but enamored with) the software industry in WA & Europe, excelling through the 90s dot-com bonanza
~and now I'm a decade into life as a dumped lover & single-parent temporarily retrenching/retiring/retreating to sedentary small-town life & nature to finish raising my college-bound kids & restore a 100 year old Victorian

Vegan, no plastic, art, artist, art teacher, nature, spiritual..
Looking for a soul which transcends the basic struggle of life.. Love women who feel like nature.. In all of it's purity, presence and intelligence..
Not looking for marriage.. maybe for love which might last forever.. virgin and pure are better.. feels like a similar soul.. don't ask me though..
In work to get rid of plastic, toxic food and clean up and find a fresh new earth.. Sons and daughters of nature.. An enlightenment, and an awakening.. I get everything in my own cloth bags, jars, boxes and bottles. Trying my best to build an ecosystem of a sustainable and earth friendly living and lifestyle.. Our future needs clarity, clean air, clean earth, clean food and a clear space. No artificial lights after sunset. I don't use electricity and live without fans, lights air conditioning, water heaters, etc., Trying to find complete independence from today's overly connected world which is only polluting our soul. In an effort to go off the grid and back into nature. Mostly prefer raw vegan and very little or low amounts of lightly cooked food without much or any spices.

I have been vegetarian for over 3 years now,but finally became vegan over a year ago. Wish could have done that years ago.
I am into meditation (Release Technique/Sedona Method developed by Lester Levenson.In my personal experience, 1 month of Releasing equals to 12 months of meditation),yoga, martial arts(kick boxing, mixed martial arts),reading,music, movies,financial trading,and traveling.As far as travel...I have been to USA (mostly lived in Texas on and off over 7 years), Canada, Mexico, India,and currently living in England UK.
I am constantly learning,improving and evolving.

Nurturer and lover of simple things, I am focused on doing what I can to help people, animals and the earth. Having fun is so important to me and it usually involves little to no money. Being with kind, silly and grounded people is essential for my mental health. I'm working on being as mindful as possible. Life is so short and we need to do what we truly love.

Little about me: Easy going, mellow, no stress kinda guy. I love nature and outdoors, especially anything beachy. I grew up in Southern California, moved to Dallas for 5 years and moved back to CA a few years ago. I've been in software development for 22 years and absolutely love it.
I'm usually biking or hiking on the weekends. I work really hard to try maintain a healthy lifestyle. No drugs, rarely drink, don't smoke. Perfect credit, never been arrested, I have all my hair (HAHA, sorry those things are important!)
Cooking is definitely one of my passions. Love experimenting with foods from other countries. The spicier, the better! Pretty decent guitar player, comes in handy around campfires :)
Total animal lover. I volunteer at the local animal shelter as often as I can. I have 2 rescue cats that are the most spoiled cats on the planet (as it should be!) and considering adopting a puppy, but we'll see.
Why am I here? Well, it's really hard meeting vegetarians (Yes, even in California!) I hate the 'Bar Scene' and the chances of meeting that perfect someone while grocery shopping is pretty unlikely. Just looking for someone with some common interests that might turn into something more. So say hi if you think we'd click!

I spend a lot of time keeping myself and my roommate , Corky , ( he is an 8 yr. old Coton ) healthy . I cook for both of us . I follow Michael Greger M.D. but differ from him in two respects . I will use olive oil and I will eat salmon and tuna to get complete omega 3`s . I go to the gym 6 days weekly . I retired from my own law practice , in Cleveland ,when I was 52 . I recently read " The Dry Season " by Melissa Febos and am inspired to read more . She made reference to picking up a book at the library and going to a cafe and reading the entire book at one sitting . She outlines her activities in N.Y. including studying spiritual life and friendship without sex . All very interesting .

I would love to be the person that you have to talk to, when you have to tell someone, something. I'm looking for a friend first, and am open to a relationship.
I like outdoor activities, but it is actually more about the company, than the activity.

A tapestry of perspectives and playfulness intertwined with intrigue and bantering wit could describe the first melding of our colorful personalities. The next date might include a dash of romance over blackened rainbow trout (vegan option) sautued with garlic, lemon, Bragg and orange juice, with a side of artichoke and tantalizing veggies, followed by a board game in front of a cozy, crackling fire (winner tickles loser! ) and maybe a spontaneous beach stroll from my patio. It could be unforgettably romantic if in the company of my soulmate. I enjoy traveling and even traveled Europe for years. Unfortunately, it was the first two years of my life and I don't remember any of the sights! I feel comfortable with myself around others, but have found myself being a conformists in one breath and a rebel in the next. Friends say my greatest outer attributes are my enthusiasm and smile; still, on the inside, compassion and sincerity take precedence. What is your soulwater? Would you drink or swim in it, or would it be an occassional poem? Whatever the case, envision it better with me. I can occasionally be found protecting inventions from chicanerous copycats, but my passion is for that charitable profession, and also for helping others outside of work.

I am very open minded and easy to get to know. I had a very interesting or unique background which has helped me grow in a positive way. I am adventurous and love anything outdoors. I am not a complicated guy and like simplicity, but I can also be "sophisticated" if needed. I've traveled all over the world for work and fun which has shaped my perspective and acceptance of cultural differences and experiences.

I believe in God AND Evolution; that true happiness is found in the simple desire to be happy; that anger is a waste of time and energy; that regular physical and mental exercise, good diet and happiness are the keys to long life; that the wonders of nature and those less fortunate need protection; that a good relationship is well worth the effort and, when it comes to love, I've been asleep too long.
I'd like to think I'm a fairly balanced and easy going individual, perhaps a bit unconventional (vegetarian, spirituality, following a different drummer). As adventurous as I am lazy; as fun-loving as I am serious; as young-at-heart as I am mature and responsible; as non-materialistic as I am materialistic. Still enjoying the richness of life from the passions of a sensual kiss to the joy and peace that linger after a moment of spiritual bliss. Music: Moody Blues, Pachelbel, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Lifehouse, MercyMe. Humor: Steven Wright, George Carlin, Marx Brothers, Three Stooges, an occasional pun. Slightly on the quiet and introspective side of the fence but also with an adventurous side (tried parachuting, snow camping, backpacking, rock climbing, SCUBA). Health conscious: a non-judgmental, ovo-lacto vegetarian who's not above having a drink with friends. Enjoy all sciences (education in Geography, Earth Sciences) while on a spiritual "path". Left-handed, right-brained (more spatial than verbal). More impressed with humility than hubris.
Retired in 2012 to central TN, Cumberland Plateau. Have a 4.5 Ac place which I am improving upon & making more "green". My first project was adding 24 solar panels. Have accomplished enough (e.g. new roof, HVAC, paint, & other fixes) so that I can (finally LOL) feel comfortable expanding my activities like dating & traveling.
Feel it move all things

I always find it hard to write about myself.
Here are 5 points:
I think I'm outgoing, friendly and fun. Best to ask my friends and family though.
I am a professional and have an entrepreneurial spirit so I'm always busy doing something.
I have grown up children - all adults - 5 professional and 1 at uni.
I care for 4 animals; 3 cats and a tortoise.
I know I need to look after my health by, regularly exercising, getting better sleep, eating better and staying hydrated... would love to find a friend who also is on the same health journey.
