Born and raised in New York, I've lived in Louisville since 1975. I am politically liberal and interested in cultural and spiritual diversity. I describe myself as Jewish by heritage, Pagan by choice, Buddhist by philosophy, and Atheist on Sundays. I am an Art Therapist by profession, working with survivors of intimate violence, and wanting to remember there are kind, loving, and considerate men out there. My "wasband" and I have been separated 7 years but remain legally married for financial reasons. Another exclusive relationship of 5 years ended in the past year. I have a wonderful group of intelligent and creative friends, but miss having a special someone with whom to snuggle, share, reflect, and reciprocate. I am looking for a gentle, intelligent, non-addicted, companion who is financially stable, intellectually curious, and confident without being arrogant. Honesty and authenticity are crucial. Would enjoy time together but also allow for individual interests and alone time. Hoping for friendship initially that could evolve into an exclusive intimate relationship, long-term

A question with which I am wrestling as I look to the last quarter to a third of my life. I have a meaningful and creative job with which I am satisfied and expect to continue. I have two adult sons whom I love and whom I see at least once or twice a month. I have some wonderful friends. I am passionate about some politics and justice issues. I am in good health. I seek and periodically find creative opportunities. I enjoy exploring different spiritual and cultural paths. I would like to travel more. I am not a great planner - more a collage artist than an architect. So help me discover what more to do with my life...

This is a tough one to answer. I am good at a number of things - cooking, baking, drawing, crossword puzzles, dancing, singing, writing. But I am not supremely outstanding at any of these. Perhaps my greatest strength is reflecting, observing, and seeing how disparate concepts can relate to each other to become something new.

You tell me...

I love books, movies, shows, music and the like, but I rarely retain details for very long. I recall broad concepts and how I felt about it unless it's something I've seen repeatedly. My all time favorite movie is, however, The Wizard of Oz, in which I see much metaphor for life as well as artistic beauty. With respect to food, I may be the least picky eater on the planet. I love exploring and experimenting with old and new flavors, genres, and combinations.

My children (that's 2, plus a daughter-in-law), my friends (that's probably more than 6), making/creating things, at least periodically, and coffee.

The world, other people, and where I fit in it.

At home, in my pj's. Sometimes out with friends.

I think I already shared quite a lot!
