Date men from United States / California / Ojai, 53 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. After many years of soul searching, I am excited to meet someone and explore the many aspects of genuinely intimate relationship. You are well enough established in your 'self', emotionally sound and available, clear and complete with your past relationships. And you are ready and more than willing to spend time getting to know a partner.
Creative, clever and complex: that’s me. I’m incessantly inspired. I am healthy and fit. My head’s in good condition too: I’m bright, insightful and articulate. I know my way around philosophy and science, psychotherapy and meditation. I gravitate towards truth, however it is found. Not content with appearances or assumptions, I prefer looking under the surface. Decidedly unconventional, I’ve devoted my life to learning and listening. Yet, though eager for knowledge, I recognize that real understanding lies beyond the mind. Only silence reveals all. So I try to balance quiet times with the excitement of everything else! I'm a strange hybrid of seeker and scientist, an eclectic explorer of human potential.
I long for a partner who would share an adventure in learning with me, someone courageous and curious, open and honest, who wants to travel beyond her horizons. Someone who possesses both insight and intellect, patience and passion. Someone who enjoys deep dialogue but relishes sweet silence. Together, in love, we might dive beneath the sparkling shallows of our selves.
Com'on, surprise me!
Now I'll fill you in on my dark side :-) I can be perceived as annoyingly happy first thing in the morning. Im told I'm Introspective, creative, empathic, consistent, caring, happy and responsible. Have traveled the world, read a lot of books and still do, love children, Spring time, Winter,fall. Passionate about being alive. Love helping disadvantaged people..
I desire to share the daily intimacies that one can only build through time, shared experiences and trust. I am serious about creating a long term relationship. I prefer transparency and humility over subtext and pride.

Meet a man from California, United States. Presently, someone who would appeal to me has lived life thoroughly and understands what she does and does not like; and frankly, knows she is not willing to settle for either a person or a relationship that does not bring peace.
During Winter Break, while sipping a mug of freshly pressed coffee and watching the rising sun paint the waves a morning blush of crimson-orange, I thanked the opportunity to have had that moment. And so, I approached that day as I have for some time now- with honest gratitude toward opportunities- to surf alone and with friends, to cycle on silent back roads, and turn pedals on backcountry singletrack, all the while aware of the beauty that compels me to return each time again to these places.
With a separation after nineteen years and a divorce pending, the ocean, the hills and the silent roads have once again proven themselves as places for solitude and companionship and deep contemplation
Come along.
Having cycle-toured around the world and across this country, having surfed in both hemispheres, and backpacked through Asia and South Pacific Islands, these events have shaped my world view and how I see the importance of life and living. All cliches aside, Henry David Thoreau wrote this in his journal:
"The moods and thoughts of man are revolving just as steadily and incessantly as nature’s. Nothing must be postponed. Take time by the forelock. Now or never! You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this, or the like of this."
As I arise in the morning and ride to work in the dark, Henry David Thoreau's thoughts resonate with me. When I sit outside the surf zone awaiting the approach of another set of waves, the ideas implicit in Thoreau's journals clarify what too often seem a hectic and amplified world
I hope to meet a woman with a passion for adventure, a desire to travel and experience what Yvonne Chouinard once said: "the adventure starts when something goes wrong". I would like to meet someone who appreciates the pursuit of living a simple yet utterly fulfilling life found in discovery and challenge and the peace that follows from these kinds of endeavors.
