I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

Enjoy spending time outside in natural settings, dinners with close friends, music, movies, quite sharing, joking around, wandering aimlessly, thrift store browsing, reading, sitting in silence and presence. I enjoying simplicity, and diversity and don't fit nicely into a box. There is a big world full of paradox that I swim in.
“Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.”- (Whitman)

I appreciate the subtle beauty in life, leaf twriling its way from a branch, small child's eyes innocent and amazed as it explores the world, a sleek car purring down the street, a cross country cell phone call from an old friend, the ever-changing yet familiar transition from day into night. A playful dog in barreling down a beach chasing seagulls. This is what life in fullness.
