Music has been a passion for many years. But I love to free dance, contact dance and sing with others. I like workshops both taking them and giving them, I like the spiritual side of living and tie that in to all the things I do in one way or another. But I am becoming more and more a free spirit and love to be loved and give love too. I'm affectionate and strong, steady yet vulnerable too. I love who I have become over the years of development. I use my music as a therapeutic tool and do healings with it. I feel that just now I am breaking free from old patterns that no longer serve me.

Update: I have been collecting just a few special quotes that I have gathered from this site. For those who recognise these words. THANK YOU for articulating something within me that I was not able to say so well.

Message me:
"You believe life comes into deeper focus when there is a loving partner by your side."

"Like everyone else, I would love to to meet someone with whom I can share both physical chemistry and good-natured banter. I love staying up half the night trading kisses and sharing life stories. Hopefully you do too (if things move in that direction). That’s because I haven’t lost my sense of wonder about human beings and the world around me. . . it’s always there percolating just beneath the surface, and sometimes spilling over."

AND here is a favorite poem:
When Death Comes

When death comes
like the hungry bear in autumn
when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse

to buy me, and snaps his purse shut;
when death comes
like the measle-pox;

when death comes
like an iceberg between the shoulder blades,

I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering;
what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?

And therefore I look upon everything
as a brotherhood and a sisterhood,
and I look upon time as no more than an idea,
and I consider eternity as another possibility,

and I think of each life as a flower, as common
as a field daisy, and as singular,

and each name a comfortable music in the mouth
tending as all music does, toward silence,

and each body a lion of courage, and something
precious to the earth.

When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was a bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it's over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened
or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.

Peace to all and now on with the summary.

I love the outdoors especially when I can share it with someone. Car camping and day hikes, hot springs and swimming holes places that are unusual, places that are beautiful. I can no longer do the heavy backpack thing but enjoy nature and all it's glory. I like labyrinth walks and meditations, diary writing and planning what I will do next with my music. I especially love to sing with a friend or date. It is always a treat to hear each other's inner being come out with the sound. I cuddle whenever I can, and am never more purring when I am doing that. Affection fills me like nothing else can.

I'm crazy scared about dating this way. I know that no matter what I read about anyone it is the energy and the chemistry that makes it all work. I hope we are all just gentle and kind with each other. I've learned that kindness is more important than anything else. I've also learned what it is to wake up in the spiritual sense and do seek a partner who is sincere about waking up too.

Right now I am looking for relevant music work and developing a website that will allow me to put into practice my therapeutic music. I am learning to date, learning about simple love that isn't complicated. I like silence and spacious being with someone who also likes space and silence. I can just simply be present with someone and that is often enough.

Noticing things about other people and noticing things about myself.

I'm present with the moment and open to the day.

I just finished two great books, 5th Sacred Thing, and The Shack. Rereading The Power of Now, love the material from Adyashanti, and Pema Chodron many sacred texts but I'm also a Harry Potter fan. I like believing in magic and know there are many magical things on this amazing planet. I read about hospice work, death and dying, and through that the preciousness of the life we are given. I have been struggling through 'Pride and Prejudice' only because of the language not because it isn't interesting. (Update: I watched the recent movie version of P and P and couldn't help but cry at the end. I guess I too am looking to fall in love like that!) Rumi poems and not TV. Movies Indie, eclectic fun, not horror. Food primarily vegetarian, love Indian,Thai, Mexican, my own cooking. Music is also eclectic, lots of world music, classical, Celtic, Indian, Middle Eastern.

life and nature
space and silence
alone and together
conversation and affection
heart and mind
music and light

Concern for humanity, the earth and when are we going to learn to get along.

Watching a movie, going to music, workshop or just home with a good book.

I like affection from both males and females. I'm not bi I just love affection.

Contact me if you want to date, play, go to an event, get to know me, or just plain curious. For something long term, I'm looking for someone sincerely interested in the spiritual awakening process we are all going through.
