About my Photos: Facial Hair is optional. If you do not like it or my hair style these can be changed.
Attentive, Appreciative & Affectionate, I believe I am an uncommon man. Still, I am generally humble & know I am no better than anyone else. We all do the best we can with what we know. Life is a never-ending process of change, challenges and opportunities for growth. I have invested a lot of time & introspection finding out who I am, what my mistakes & responsibilities were in previous relationships. I know myself well. I have suffered at times & I am better for it. I am ready to be open & vulnerable to the female kindred spirit who is also ready & is near to, seeks or is beyond my level of emotional maturity.
Being a compassionate & kindly gentleman I would never hurt anyone intentionally. I am slow to anger. My feelings may be easily known as I am emotionally transparent & I strive to always be an authentic person. I have learned that money & possessions alone do not bring happiness. Rather, giving, loving & sharing with others are the real secrets to happiness.
In a small group or one-on-one I am outgoing & enjoy talking about family, friends, grandchildren & sometimes small talk. I do however have a need for intelligent, meaningful & sometimes passionate discourse about relationships, the environment & social & economic injustice.
Exploring in Nature away from the creations of man is where I am most at peace & feel the most spiritual (& even more romantic). I can be found often in the mountains, at the beach or dessert capturing inspiring photographic images or simply absorbing the serenity. High Country Lakes & Trails are my favorite places to be. I have traveled all over the west & have seen many wonders. Still there are many more places I have not yet seen & would love to share with someone special.
Being fit enhances health, the enjoyment of all physical activities & increases physical attraction so taking care of my body is a priority for me.
I have never been arrested, do not gamble & have never used drugs.
I try to tred lightly on mother earth and do what I can to make a difference for the Children of the Future.
What is missing from my life is intimacy and someone to share with. I want to laugh & explore new places together with a healthy, energetic, moderately adventurous & reasonably uninhibited woman for as long as we can.

- Comfortable with your body dressed for a formal function, in business atire, jeans, hiking shorts, lace, or nothing at all.

"Walk away quietly in any direction & taste the freedom of the mountaineer… Climb the mountains & get their good tidings, Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees" (John Muir)

I am known as a hiking fool and have enjoyed may hikes through the wildernesses of Montana and Idaho and Wyoming as well as the high sierras. I grew up in a small town in Michigan and naturally gravitate to water - I must be near water and enjoy most water activities including swimming and canoeing. Presently I am pursuing creative writing and am in the middle of working a long story about an ordinary man with extra-ordinary perception and insights. I am an extroverted introvert enjoying being the center of social activities as well as time alone to contemplate the deeper meanins of life. I am somewhat counter culture and actively work to reduce my impact on the environment. Fasting is a way of life for me and I certainly enjoy a good cup of coffee with a meaningful and loving conversation. You will find me very adept in the kitchen, able to throw a great meal together for a dozen friends n a matter of minutes. I am the big picture guy and am always looking outside myself for ways to improve the life of others and myself. I am 6'2 1/2" and weigh the same I did at age 27: 187 lbs. All the photos are current except the one with the backpack which was taken on my last trip up Mt Whitney.

I am lookling for a tall slender woman with solid emotional depth and insight who has all the attributes of a High Priestess.

I do like widows with great sense of humor and a great figure. Any woman interested in being with me should have a sense of adventure and be willing to participate in a creative positive life of travel and discovery. I love to share soft gentle moments of true intimacy, loving, touching, caressing next to a fire with gentle french cafe music in the backround, while we feel the gentle warmth of summer breezes wafting over our bodies lost in embrace.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Life is good now. This is the season of accomplishment for me. My career is steady and enjoyable, and there is, in a good way, always more to learn. I am happiest in my soul when playing music (I am a pianist) or appreciating a great symphony or a young artist, most content physically when IРІР‚в„ўm swimming outdoors in any kind of weather, at my best emotionally when having a deep discussion with trusted friends on any kind of subject or laughing with someone who knows my thoughts from years of experiences shared. My daughter just completed grad school. (How did that happen?) IРІР‚в„ўm still available to be mom when called upon for support but mostly in her life as her greatest admirer and friend.
Perhaps this is the season for having a partnership that doesnРІР‚в„ўt have to endure the demands of raising young children or finding oneself, or making and losing fortunes. Maybe it could be now that a relationship, formed with maturity by two world-wise individuals could be about just loving and appreciating the good things around us and the results of efforts made.
You also are evolved in this season of your life. You are interested in the world in an open and curious way. You have talents that you give willingly and a heart that is compassionate. Hopefully youРІР‚в„ўve experienced the selflessness of parenting and also the accomplishment of career and financial responsibilities. You know who you are and take care of yourself physically and emotionally. You are showing up for life, and we'll know -for each other - when we meet.
