Date men and women from United States / California / Orinda, 32 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. My life is a reflection of my values: walking with integrity, compassion, good humor and an appreciation for the gift of just being. I am looking for someone whose choices are informed by what feeds their soul, community and planet. My profession guides me to approach people with compassion, open-heartedness, curiousity and a bit of tough love by reflecting that we are constantly creating and recreating our lives and ourselves with what we choose. I see not only the truth of where people are but also hold what's possible and where they're heading. I do this for myself first so that I can do it for others. I trust and honor my intuition and emotions as compasses that are equally as valid as my intellect. This all sounds very serious, but my days are also filled with lightness, humor, and a zany appreciation for just how ridiculous life can be. Little dogs in sweaters give me the giggles. I believe that the world is fundamentally good and that we rest in the caring arms of a benevolent force, always.
I live a pretty healthy lifestyle, am vegetarian for moral reasons, and do bikram yoga to stay physically and mentally fit. I also have a soft spot for gangsta rap, the F-word, black clothes, high heels, sarcastic humor and this hookah bar in the Tenderloin. I am affectionate, physically and verbally, and would want to be able to express my feelings and appreciation for you in lots of ways. Lots of long gazes with small smiles for the right person, warmth in my eyes and heart. You'd feel it.
You are someone who does not take himself or his life for granted. You care about the well-being of others -- individuals, your community and the planet. You are simultaneously mystified and in awe of women and our ability to connect deeply with our hearts, and strive to do the same. You don't have to be a therapist, but you see the benefit of being able to recognize, name, discuss and feel your emotions. You are masculine, smell great and take care of yourself, as you want to show up for life as your best self. If not a person of color yourself, you are an ally and passionate about social justice. You have explored the world, gotten outside your comfort zone, learned from your mistakes and do not settle for complacency or mediocrity. You also appreciate the small pleasures and downtime -- naps in the sun, long conversations over coffee, strolling.
Together we seek a relationship that values honesty, mutual respect, support and admiration, and the sense that the other is the coolest person in the world. We know the importance of having our own lives and identities, that that adds richness and flavor to what we create together. We also will approach life as a team. We might join the Peace Corps one day, move onto a farm in West Marin, get a pet macaw or learn how to ride motorcycles. If most of this resonates with you, say hello!
