Date someone special from California, United States. My path has been one of pursuing many interests. For eleven years I worked as a mechanical designer/draftsman and then did some architectural drafting for a short while. After a long hiatus from college I returned for a B.A. in psychology and then picked up a couple teaching credentials. I’m a retired teacher of students with severe disabilities, currently working part-time driving Workman Compensation patients to their doctor appointments. I’m also a certified massage therapist including craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and energy work. All of my adult life I have been an artist, most productive when living in Houston for 11 years, showing widely around the city In group shows and a one person show, winning a couple of awards from the Houston Art League. I also received some recognition in a couple juried shows at the Sebastopol Art Center some 10 years ago. As a writer, I’ve had a few things published and usually have a writing project in the works. Politically, I’ve been very active in a local Oakland group working to build community (direct) democracy in Oakland. Often build a website reflecting my most current interest.
But of all my interests meditation, chanting and energy work have the strongest draw for me. I’ve had some very interesting results combining specific meditations with the energy work. Meditation brings me a calmness, clarity and a joy that goes far beyond any other endeavors.
I resist imagining the woman I would want to spend my life with. I'd rather be surprised in the moment, open to love in its infinite forms. Sometimes love comes quickly, surprisingly fast. Other times it takes its time, meanders through the streets, across the park, down the valley, up through the hills, and the heart strings find a recurring melody everywhere.
Love at the core is a kind of stillness that holds the fullness the other's presence.
