i am...
A nonconformist who, nonetheless, possesses a traditional vein, particularly with regard to family and partnership. Devoted to my son , who's taught me my most sublime lessons.
A spiritual Seeker, secure in my belief in a higher existence and power. Awed by spiritual concepts, but still very much in this world. A favorite quote, “God help me to be pure, but not yet,†St. Augustine.
I crave learning. Thrive on mental stimulation. Love analytical discussions and the occasional debate. There's a softer side too.
Driven to create and express--whether by cooking, woodworking, or writing, which is my foremost love. In keeping with my creative/analytical bent, I run my own web and publications design business.
I have fun. Get-togethers. Pool, scrabble. A movie or bike ride. Dancing, primarily to Caribbean, African and urban rhythms; listening to most music. Love to laugh at life's absurdities, well-crafted witticisms, stupid jokes, and myself. Love to make others laugh.who I'd like to meet
