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.
