Beauty is everywhere, take some time to see it

About Me

Just a bit of star dust trying to live life one moment at a time. I like uncertainty in life sometimes, it means that everything is a possibility and it keeps life interesting. It makes me happy when strangers smile at one another on the street, and when someone holds the door open for someone else. Being random is fun. Exploring a city or a mountain or a forest or the night sky are great ways to get to know the universe and yourself

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people who enjoy sitting and talking about anything--life, nature, philosophy, religion, spirituality, politics, where you went today, what you did yesterday, where you want to go tomorrow... I want to meet people who are not obsessed with possessions; people who love simplicity. And people who like to explore. I want to meet people who know that silence can be just as interesting and important as talking. If you want to add me as a friend, don't just hit the "add to friends" button, send me a message. I'm not trying to get lots of people on my friends list, I want to make friends!
