About Me

i hate feeling stagnant. i ride my bike just a little too fast.i travel a bit--it helps me get perspective.i love dirt roads, one lane bridges, and hills that make you feel like you will leave the ground and just continue into the sky when you reach the top.i'm very interested in words; i write poetry.i think this is hilarious: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/kenya/.i love the untrammeled earth. i understate things.

My Interests

wandering, traveling, talking with friends, writing, cruising around on the bike (btwn thefts anyway), hiking, camping, soccer, kickball, rowing (well, not while living in Colorado), board sports, yoga, and old things

I'd like to meet:

people who are open, honest, can laugh easily, see things in interesting ways, and treat the world and others with the respect they deserve.people who embrace their depths--people who appreciate the beauty, love, and abundance in the world--people who are not afraid of really living or loving.people who make me laugh and think (and stop thinking).
