Oh god here we go!!! Well, first off I don't like meeting people online. I like the good old fashion face-to-face where you get to experience someone's energy, lifeforce, style of being, etc. Then there is a natural attraction, or not. But I am "experimenting honestly" with my life, so I am trying lots of new things including online dating.
I am a social worker, meditator, musician with a rock band. I try to be as open in my life as I can to growing as a person, learning whatever I can about just about anything, and to communication and connection. I am intellectual and love to think about life in a deeper way (thus my master's degree in buddhist studies) but I am also more of a right-brained person who is creative and esthetic. I like to do things because they make sense, not because I am "supposed to." I like Chogyam Trungpa, Ken Wilber, Mary Oliver, Rilke. I like people who don't drink too much or use hard drugs. I like people who think about the world they live in. I am introverted and like other introverts. I have a big heart...

Trying to learn as much as possible before I check out! Trying to expand my heart. Trying to be a bigger person that I think I can. Working with homeless people for my job. Making lots of music, playing my guitar and violin, and singing. Playing with my dog. Learning how to be in healthy relationships with other awesome people. Learning compassion as deeply as I can. Waking up as much as I can. Being still. And moving. Alternately. At the same time.
"Be what you are
do not be afraid
trust and try
experiment honestly
give your true being
a chance
to shape your life
you will not regret it."
~Nisargadatta Maharaj

Writing songs. Loving people. Dancing. Fiddle. Counseling. Gardening.

I am a straightfoward down-to-earth kind of gal. Good conversationalist. Deep. Like to laugh a lot.

Poetry. Good fiction. The Myth of Freedom (CTR). Shunyata (CTR). Grace and Grit. Barbara Kingsolver. I love movies and food, not so picky about either.

1) Meditation
2) Indian Food
3) Funny people
4) The beach (um, why do I live in Colorado??? Not sure...)
5) Words of wise people
6) Music

Well, having spent 15 years practicing buddhist meditation, I think a lot about deeper questions of life, how to expand my mind, how to go deeper into life, how to be more alive, how to be more sane, I get tripped up a lot with choices: move, stay, go here, do this or that.

Depends. Either with friends, dining, on a phone date with one of my best girlfriends in another state, making music, at band practice, watching a movie with someone or just my dog, or a long long walk with my dog (Lilah) in the dark, admiring people's gardens.

Something here resonates....
