I'm playful, adventurous, tough and tender and love to laugh. Also unconventional, curious, conscientious, compassionate, a liberal activist and feel a (sometimes painful) universal connection.
I live in an eclectic, ecologically conscientious community, recycle and purchase recycled stuff, have a low gas consumption car, drive as little as possible, dry my laundry in the sun, am able to heat my little cabin much of the time from my south facing windows, etc, so I try to walk my talk.
I love and am awed by nature and the variety of my surrounding environment. As the leaves of the hardwoods fall away, a panarama of mountain tops appears. A few times in the winter everything is covered in white. But other days it's suddenly as warm and sunny as spring. Then, in spring, many softly colored leaves unfold along with a succession of wildflowers and the creeks, rivers and waterfalls are abundant. And by summer all is transforemd into a jungle that looks like the background of my profile and the mountains are hidden again.
Tried out numerous diverse lifestyles, not bound by convention
My Philosophy
Everything is interconnected
What Gives Me Hope
Everyone isn't brain washed yet
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
work for world wide cooperation
What/who changed my life and why
A group/community I was involved with for many years that focused on what the world (ourselves, relationships, teaching, government, everything) would be like if we came from trust instead of fear
"If you can't see the bright side
polish up the dull side"
"Dance like nobody's watching, (unless you're a showoff :)
and love like you've never been hurt."
