Date men from United States / California / Soquel, 57 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I am looking for my best friend, lover, confidant, and lifetime companion.
I am intelligent, sensitive, sensual, and love to laugh. I want someone to care about, exchange thoughtful conversation, enjoy sensuality, have fun, play like kids and enjoy every wonderful day there is. My life is very active with my exciting career, exercise, friends, family, cooking, and reading. I am spiritual but not consumed by organized religion. I grew up on the east coast, and lived in the Caribbean, Alabama, and North Carolina during my educative years. I value the exposure to different cultural and ethnic groups and try to incorporate the best qualities I discovered along the way.
I have enjoyed running for forty two years and wrote A book entitled "Running Within".
I have a fulfilling career and constantly reading on a variety of subjects to gain personal knowledge.
I served as French chef in earlier years and look forward to coming home from work and cooking five coarse meals and sampling delicious wine. Highly enjoyable therapy.
I am grateful for trying to enjoy every day and bring peace and loving kindness to those I encounter. Favorite prayer "justice for me, justice for you, justice, justice, justice!"
I live on seven acres and enjoy my vegetable and herb garden
