Date men and women from United States / California / Occidental, 70 year old

Date people from United States. I recently turned 70. My friends urge me not to disclose my age, but I figure there are youngish men who like vital, wise women who are older than they - there are oldish men who like youthful and spirited women who are slightly younger - and there are men in their early 70's who like women their own age. The rest, I don't worry about. I once had a client who was dating a man 25 years her junior. When asked how she felt about it, she said, "When you think of the eons and eons of years there's been life on this planet, the fact that we're here at the same time is a miracle - so what the F. . . difference does age make? " I had to admit she had a point. Big-hearted and caring - independent at the same time intimate - open and curious - adventurous yet able to be still - mindful and present - are what count and which are some of the qualities I hope to find in a potential partner.
I'm currently working on a novel that I've been working on for over five years. I also work with people in a coaching capacity helping them to be less scattered and more present in their lives. I was a psychotherapist for over 20 years and a writer for over 15. I have 50 years experience in the arts (theater, photography, film, writing) and 55 years in various spiritual practices. I approach life creatively and spiritually. Being a good and kind person is my highest concern - an ongoing practice. I have two grown sons whom I love very much and two grand-twins whom I adore. I'm transitioning from Berkeley to Occidental and spend most of my time in a one-room cabin with an outdoor shower and wood stove. I am continually trying to simplify (but not always succeeding).
More and more I am drawn to silence and expanse. Nature provides both. I'm less about doing than being and would like to find someone who,along with the qualities I mentioned above, shares that perspective. Sharing is very important to me - at the same time I'm independent and happy alone. Again, I hope to find someone who wants both. Andre Gide once said, "The best prescription for a good life is Joy " and more and more I experience a quiet and rich kind of joy.
