55 year old Woman in Bainbridge Island, Washington, United States Looking For: Men for friendship or a serious relationship

Profile for booksandnature
My lifestyle is happily quiet, though active, and filled with an inquisitive appreciation for the natural world, for fine literature and classical music, for my non-urban environment(which also is within easy reach of Seattle) and the inherent delights in small surprises along with the quirky side of each passing day.. I believe that genuine contentment and enrichment unfold from a pursuit of one's own unique capacities rather than from superficial involvement with whatever is presently 'trendy'. I spend a large portion of my time outside walking and gardening and simply feeling alive.
My nature towards other people is interested, warm, giving and openly honest. I have been missing the enlarged fulfillment and delight that comes when two people share, discover, appreciate; simply relax....live together and laugh together. Holding hands and having four eyes is an expansion as well as a gentle closeness.

Travel(especially travel combined with some sort of learning) was once a large part of my life and I hope that might come to be again. My horizons have been narrow for too many years. I greatly enjoy being out under the sky--even in the rain.

A number of people have commented on my style of writing. I fear that it is a trifle dense and stiff. Be assured that I do not speak that way and do not have a formal personality---it is just what has always happened when I pick up a pencil. Perhaps I have had an overdose of 19th century books, but in person I am simple, kind, amused and undemanding.

My Ideal Person:
Warmth and laughter have importance in my life as does honest communication and genuine expression. They form a basis of trust, respect and admiration on which committed friendship can evolve and deepen. I hope to share common interests as well as to explore the unique pursuits and preferences that we could bring to each other. A gentle personality that approaches differences through discussion (or even animated interest!) rather than anger or confrontation. I would like to find a happy face behind which hides an intellectual inclination and a desire to articulate thoughts, gained knowledge and observation. I want to enjoy activities outside as well as to share concerts, historic or other interesting places, dining---maybe even have fun at the grocery store. Why not find smiles in the most mundane? And, of course, I want to feel comfort and enjoyment in my home.
My companion should be my best friend.
