I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

I like to socialize and interact with NORMAL people who are not judgemental or prejudiced. I am attracted to women who are feminine without being feminist, self-assured and confident without being critical of others, socially conscious, I think that means LIBERAL.I believe that death is a step forward and that life on this earth is only temporary, and that hell is something you may have to go through............... but is definitely not a destination.You can believe what you like but I know what I know. I believe organized religion is like organized crime; they extort money from people by twisting arms or twisting emotions.My belief system is this: Generally speaking, there are two kinds of Taoism: philosophical and religious. Philosophical Taoism is rational, contemplative, and nonsectarian, and it accepts death as a natural returning to the Tao.I am artisitic, empathetic, strong, creative, and slightly opinionated but willing to listen to other points of view without overt condemnation. My best attribute is my daughter whom I love more than anything else because she has taught me the meaning of altruistic love and that is something that is so hard to explain to someone who hasn't had kids. To experience it is to know it.I love to travel and meet new people and experience the differences that you can only see when you get off the beaten path and not be a day tourist on a cruise ship with guided tours.I like the outdoors, the water, my pets, reading, photography, nature, theater, music, dancing...............sometimes all at the same time. :-) I like , no live to travel and one thing I've found; If you can travel together you can do anything.

My Interests

Travel off the beaten path. Travel, more travel Living in Costa Rica 6 months a year (retirement goal) Swimming at the Baths of Aphrodite in Cyprus. Things like that.

I'd like to meet:

Friends - True friends last a lifetime, throughout good times and bad.I believe that a relationship involves communication, chemistry, physical attraction,mutual respect for each other, shared goals and dreams..........especially dreams and not necessarily in that order. One thing that is very important. I've been online for a number of years now and I have found that it is very easy to misrepresent oneself in this medium. You like your parents, have lifelong friends, that sort of thing. I'm not out to change anyone. I want to meet someone who is honest, has integrity, is non-judgemental, likes to socialize, has an open mind about spirituality without having to go to a mega church to prove it and is not a chickenhawk with yellow ribbons on their vehicle. No games, no fantasy-mass-media-hype-cyber-space delusional reality show or soap opera addicts here. mspobj type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="355" width="425"

Music:

Live music is the best, from Celtic to R&B to country to bluegrass to jazz. Music is the rhythm of life and can elicit emotional responses and heal the soul.

Movies:

Dr. Zhivago, Shawshank Redemption, Mississippi Burning, Papillon, In Search of the Holy Grail, Derzu Uzula, The Gods Must Be Crazy, Dances With Wolves, Open Range, Waterworld, Easy Rider, Goin South, Evil Roy Slade, It's a Mad Mad Mad World, The Producers.

Books:

Too many to list. From the Sunset Western Garden Book to Dr. Seuss to the Tao Te Ching and everything in between. My favorite Dr. Seuss quote: Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened!

Heroes:

Dad (of course) Granddad. His holiness the Dalai Lama Jimmy Carter - the best ex-president............ ever. Samuel Clemens, Mother Teresa, Carlos Santana
