Date men and women from United States / California / Ben Lomond, 63 year old

Date people from California, United States. Welcome home to my heart,
Jump, and I will catch you.
Me...
I have held wild animals in my hands,
I have been in love.
I have heard the earth breathe.
My life has changed me.
I am 63. No more solo SCUBA or winter backpacking. Long walks, yes. But "long" becomes a fluid term. I am healthy and in good shape for my age.
I find I am not who I was. I have become quiet. I don't quite recognize this and I am not sure I like it. Yet I am comfortable in my skin. I am still growing and changing as we must all do. My partner must be a part of that as I must be a part of her changes.
I am emotionally available and have the time for a relationship!
No night owls please. You must love dogs, cats, children, yourself, and the occasional phoenix.
You are smart/intelligent,
You are nurturing, warm, and loving,
You are petite, thin or at least height/weight proportional.
You will, I hope, be financially secure because I am starting over from the beginning.
Language is important. We must speak the same language, be willing to compromise and talk things out. Our language of love must be compatible.
I love wood. I love the way it looks and smells, and the sound it makes coming off a plane blade somewhere between scissors and tearing paper. I love making things.
I love nature and seeing all the small things and being still enough to hear the earth breathe.
I love gardening and have plants that belonged to my grandmother. I collect seeds and usually have some in my pockets.
I love the beach at dawn..half a mile of footprints leading from the dark to day.
I love clamming and foraging on the coast or hunting mushrooms.
I love cuddling by a fire. I love reading. I love intimacy and affection.
I want to share my life. I want to cook for someone I love.
Life is so much fuller and easier with the right partner. I want my
"last partner." Ultimately I want to find someone with a house and land as I have lost mine and cannot regain such again on my own.
I was raised on science fiction and still prefer it. I used to collect children's books.
I like movies for fun more than movies with a message.
I like folk and classic rock, Kate Wolf, Phil Ochs, Leonard Cohen, old country and western, Hawaiian, Souza, and some of the classics and world music.
I like most food. Love feeding others.
I love helping others.
I am a morning person. Best if used before ten P.M.!
I remember barefoot summers,
pretending I couldn't hear my mother calling me to dinner.
Now I'm the cook,
I don't know,
Sometimes I see my unexpected reflection...
without a trace of recognition.
I am looking for a place to plant my roots. My heart needs a home.
By the way, I am clean shaved now, no beard. Not exactly soft, but not furry either. Which do you like better?
