My Self-Summary

The poem quoted below speaks profoundly to me, and for me. I can say this, now, at this point in my life, only because it has taken me quite a while to get here. I do not regret one minute, the men, they years, or the decisions (good or bad) that have gotten me here—now. They were all steps along the way which have not only enabled me to understand the depths of this poem, but have created the ability for me to implement its meaning into my daily life. It represents how I try to live my life in every moment (when I can remember to do so).

“To know that I am nothing, that is wisdom. To know that I am everything, that is love. And between these two, my life moves.” el bistami

What I’m doing with my life

I am a chronic malcontent but this doesn't get in the
way of my loving and living. I need to laugh at myself daily. And to create movement in my life....

I try to accept all that life has to offer on a daily basis
with courage, compassion, and kindness as best I can.

More about me to come... not finished here... yet. But for starters: I have recently moved back to Denver after working overseas for three years for the UN. Glad to be home, but miss the world!! (This is the malcontent thing...).

I am physically active and love to hike, bike, walk, rollerblade, and play a lot of soccer when I am fit. When I am working on getting fit (again) I do all the same stuff-- just a lot less vigorously.

My life is constantly changing, as it should. I try to remain open everyday to what life brings and work to take action to bring what I want into my life.

I’m really good at

Laughing. Loving. Hugging. Touching. Being with kids. Soccer (when I am not injured or hurting). Conversation. Listening.Caring. and Being.

The first things people usually notice about me

My strength, my opinions?? My hair?? My big nose? Don't know, really?

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Oh too many to mention. One of my all time favorite books is Confederacy of Dunces. Hilarious novel. I read a lot of non-fiction and keep meaning to get at the fiction more often. I do love fiction but I don't search for it, it comes to me and when it does, I indulge, graciously.

Music- pretty much everything but heavy metal, hard rap, or country.

Food. Love food. Japanese, Thai, Italian, Middle Eastern, ... and on and on.... Pretty much all food!

The six things I could never do without

BBC/NPR
Love
NAPS
touch
exercise
conversation

and the other four:
health
truth
joy
thinking and experiencing for myself

I spend a lot of time thinking about

my health (physical and mental), what I want to create for myself in my life, how I want to be a part of the world and make a difference (in my own small way) for the good of humanity...

and finding a lifelong partner with whom to share--joy-- in the most expansive way the word can be understood.

On a typical Friday night I am

reading at home alone, going out with friend to dinner, a movie, a show, or for a drink?

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Two things:
1. Men who can write and write well really turn me on. Can't help it. It is just a fact.

2.That a hefty dose of loneliness has now become something that I feel quite intensely almost daily now. I use it as a healthy motivator to remind me to remain open for my life partner, wherever he is. I used to deny it, pretend it didn't exist, or that I never felt it! It wasn't true.

Quite contrary, I have learned that it is, indeed, quite normal and healthy to desire a partner at this point in my life! In fact, it is long overdue that I have felt this and work towards it! So, it no longer makes me feel desperate or like a loser to feel it. I just recognize it and am now humble for how intense it can be at times. It keeps me open to looking for someone out there, instead of giving up completely.

You should message me if

If anything I have written makes sense or speaks to you, somehow?? If you are serious about wanting to be in a relationship (once you meet someone worth being in one with). But, you can also recognize the nuances within my words above: (meaning) that I am not desperate and quite selective, I don't need a man to complete me--never have, and that I have gotten on quite well in my life without marriage and would truly (at this point) have no reason to commit to anyone unless being with him complimented me and my life and would bring added joy to me and my life and vice versa.
