Date men and women from California, United States. I had a rather normal upbringing: Father, an attorney; Mother, a school teacher; one brother, from another planet. At 18, I had a life-changing experience from bumming around the world alone for six months when fresh out of high school. College years in San Francisco, with a year abroad in Vienna; MA in English, and taught English at the University of Hawaii -- mainly poetry from a higher consciousness perspective. Left teaching to write. Before coming to Santa Cruz mountains, lived in Mt. Shasta where I had a number of spiritual experiences that imbued through the veil to influence the direction in my writing. I also enjoy reading the tea-leaves in dreamwork, which has been a wonderful spiritual tool for me. I love living in the Santa Cruz area, where I enjoy the ocean, mountains, hiking, tennis, Tahoe snow skiing, movies, dancing, dining out, festivals, and good conversation. I am in a dream-analysis group, a spiritually-oriented group, sea-kayak club, tennis club, and an investment group. I am both an introvert and an extrovert with a zest for both. I enjoy attuning to the ocean's sensuous rise and fall while in my 17-ft sea kayak. It's the meditation of it that I'm into the most: to feel so comfortable and relaxed on the water, with my chi-center near the breathing of the ocean, while gliding easily through the teeming seascape all around me. ...Not a prerequisite, but how wonderful to share such a marvel with someone special!My dream partner would be an attractive (in her own way), feminine, and inspiring woman with few flowers missing in her bouquet (remember...this IS a fantasy). She would have mostly resolved the inevitable wounds from childhood and past relationships. Natively, she would abide in both wisdom and sensuality, though in spirit she would be vivacious, joyful and radiant, and possess about her a certain savoir faire. Having a passionate nature, she, too, would be seeking more magic in the moonlight, for she would know that to be the blessing of a great relationship.
Meet men and women from California, United States. I am a East Coast transplant came here (CA) originally in 1967, a couple of friends decided to move to CA. Thank God, I love CA in all it's splendor. I have the very best of both worlds, ocean, mountains, and San Francisco within a stone's through. Have moved a great deal and lived in some 15 states including Puerto Rico (Territory). This must have agreed with me as I now feel I can talk and be with just about anyone. I love intelligent conversation, teasing, flirting, laughing and a savvy mate. I like to be healthy and sometimes eat accordingly and sometimes not. I love to hike, bicycle, tent camp, walk on the beach, visit museums, and just be. I enjoy driving to the city and visiting a museum and finding a new bistro and having an inspiring lunch. I like to sometimes have a purpose on weekends and sometimes not. I love the movies, good ones usually seen @ The Nick or The Delmar. Just saw two wonderful movies @ The Delmar; The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Salmon Fishing in The Yemen.
You are fit of mind and body. Have an air of self confidence, but not arrogance, You are kind, generous, loyal, truthful, have integrity and have certainly resolved all of those issues from your past. Either by sheer determination or with a therapist. You are now open for whatever this life has to offer.
You do mean what you say and say what you mean. Can't say enough about the truth and knowing yourself. Lastly you love to laugh and find humor everywhere.
If any of this explanation of who I am makes sense, I hope to hear from you.
Date someone special from California, United States. My friends all think I am wildly funny, and intelligent. I believe in the healing power of laughter, and the defense of small children. I sell dragons and faeries for a living. I am not now, nor have I ever been, a pretty woman, although I approached cute in my youth. I am looking for a friend who might want to motor around
in an RV to vend at faires and conventions as a retirement option. I am monagamous by nature. I enjoy reading, travelling,
exploring new places and things, and learning. I have a
weakness for motorcycle rides, blackberries and chocolate. I am by nature optimistic, and curious. I am looking for someone with
whom to share life and laughter.I am more interested in what a man does to give back to his community than in what he looks
like. I seek someone kind, gentle, funny, helpful, smart, and
generous of heart. I am more concerned about a man's ethics
than in how much hair he has. Determinedly cheerful is good too.
