I'd like to meet:
people who like to smile, love to laugh, will come knock on my front door (or better yet--my back door!) and tell me we're going on an adventure, who approach the world in a certain way, who are sensitive to energy, who want to contribute thoughts to the book i'm writing on courtship, who know the joys of moving one's body to music/words/beats--and do so with reckless abandonment, who aren't afraid to reveal "too much" (what is that, anyway?), who will remind me to breathe now and again, who understand the desideratum of being overstimulated at times/completely quiet at others, who say (at least!) as much with their eyes as they do with their mouth, who are committed to honesty and real communication, who truly know how to treat people and do so well, who possess an ardor for living life like they really mean it, who aren't afraid to dig in and get their hands dirty, who know how to just be, who are at peace with themself, who are upset about what's happening in our world but don't let it get them down/keep them from experiencing all the beauty and wonder.
