Update: I'm visiting family in California for a couple of weeks. I'm genuinely interested in meeting someone for the long term (as opposed to a holiday romance or a strictly distance relationship) I realise that I would be a bit of a gamble but I do admire a woman who takes a risk. I don't have all the answers (yet).

I'm not here to I am happy to be here alive on this planet today. Through my ongoing quest to raise my consciousness and self awareness I am now content and happy. It would be really wonderful to find someone special to spend this special time with. If you are interested please get in touch. Trust is important to me as a basis for a relationship. I value truth and those who have the courage and patience to communicate it in the face of frustration. I admire people who know themselves and are aware of the needs of the soul. I like people who respect life and see the planet as part their responsibility and not the 'world as their oyster'. Chemistry is important but beyond website filtering. It would be nice to hear from you...

I am happy, calm, and still alive

Thanks for reading, James

I currently work too much for too little. I also volunteer on a crisis line which I find very rewarding and gives me a perspective to balance the rest of my life.

Listening to people

Having a drink, watching a movie, reading a book, on a journey

I like dressing up as a Roman soldier
