Date men from United States / California / Winter Gardens, 62 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Having grown weary (and wary) of those who continue to dwell only within the limitations of their own fear and doubt -- rapt in conflict from their continued allegiance to outmoded concepts of “the way they were raised” or of “what others might think” rather than embracing the freedom to break away from those clinging chains of their past to explore and develop new traditions and values of moral integrity and ethical respect -- I seek the woman who is ready and willing to invest in kindred communion toward building an adult relationship in partnership with a gently evolving progressive-minded man. My spiritual consciousness is actively awakened in the natural world, personal observation and free thought; I reject the dogma of formal religious authority. There may be the basis of rewarding social support systems and beneficent community within some church institutions regardless of denomination and beyond the threshold of its declared or espoused beliefs; but I've found that most are cultish with charismatic leadership and authoritarian indoctrination bound together with arcane ritual, unfounded superstition, and errant ideas of Faith.
I follow a path of modern chivalry -- not patronizingly, I view a woman as my equal, yet ever treat her like a lady. I respect my peers, care for my fellow beings, and contemplate that which is most of value -- Honor and Trust are foundations of my code of ethics. No mythical dragon-slayer nor acting on quixotic impulse, my noble quest is the search for a renaissance woman with that hint of “wench” in her persona and a portion of "fair damsel" in her inner self. That is, slightly flirty, a bit of a tease, sultry and smoldering inside. Light-hearted, yet with a serious side, too. Intelligent, not overbearing; she is adventurous and articulate. One who follows her own mind, holds contemporary thoughts and ideas clear, and is not all caught up in false fronts. We savor every opportunity and occasion with relish for the chance to share frequent caresses, partner exercise, mutual spiritual awakening, the music all around us, a tasty meal… and other adventures.
