I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

unique, esoteric personality forged from a lifetime of experiences earned mostly in the west (Los Angeles, California to Fairbanks, Alaska) and in France, tempered by extensive travel in Mexico, Europe, Morocco, and Bali. I may find uninteresting, those who can not relate to the wider world. The study of other cultures, really intrigues me and collecting music, recipes, and traditional/cultural objects from around the world is a pleasure I would fancy sharing with others. I enjoy reading, and have an extensive library, some of my favorite writers being Paul Bowles, William Burroughs, Cavafy, and Rumi. I am at home in either a cosmopolitan or wilderness setting, and like film, music, literature and poetry, hard-ons, cooking and good food. I am emotionally sound (which is not to say numb) and caring, own a business, am an artist and poet. I am partnered to a great man, and the father of a 22-year old son--both these guys are, of course, very important to me. My mind is always open to new things.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People with an awarness of what's going on around them, a "big" mind, a sense of adventure, a love of creative energy, and a "joie de vivre"

Does dreaming have anything to do with the brain defragging memory files?

Just a thought that came to me as I was waking, yesterday...  Is it possible that dreams are simply the "cognizant' mind trying to make some sense of a "bleed-through" of random images and emoti...
