| About Me |
Jan. 4, 2017 ...Annnnd this adventure continues in this place of 'Who are you and I am me and do you maybe wanna be together?'
First, I'll clarify my profile demographics above.
Religion: Gave up on organized religion many years ago because I found it too limiting of the vastness of That Which Is Greater Than Ourselves (a.k.a. God) that I have experienced. Spirituality remains formative in my life, but not religion, and Jesus remains one of my primary guides. But I'm more Buddhist and Native American than anything else, and don't call myself Christian. It's still all about being as loving as possible in our relatedness with all of life.
Personal Heroes: Martin Luther King, Jackie Robinson, Martin Luther, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Calvin of "Calvin & Hobbes"
I occasionally smoke a pipe or cigarette, but do not like cigarette smoke, and I smoke medical marijuana.
My MA degree is in clinical psychology, and most of my career was in the Washington, D.C. region as a psychotherapist and EAP program manager, sort of the in-house 'pshrink' for emergency service personnel and their families. I was very blessed and honored to have worked with these folks.
But since leaving my career and moving to Western N.C. in 2001 to be near my aging parents, professional work has been elusive. The economic challenges here have knocked me out of my former middle class life, and I've become a member of Victor Hugo's "bastard class" as defined in his book Les Miserables. As such, I've become a rich poor man, NOT to be confused with a poor rich man. Lost both my parents in 2015, so my original purpose for living where I live has ended, and I'm wondering what and where my purpose is from here.
As for the richness of who I am as a Good man:
Self-aware, appreciative of the smaller things in life, nurturing, attentive, affectionate in both words and actions, earthy, kind, gentle, loving, naughty&nice, flirtatious only with that one special woman, non-materialistic, glass-half-full, patient, insightful and understanding, unpretentious, intuitive, and even a bit psychic, low key, with a sense of humor that can manifest with my being spontaneously silly, zany, and irreverent at times.
Creative, artsy, passionate about many things; empathetic; enjoy news/CNN; value music (no rap, heavy metal); like post-season baseball; love stroking a woman's face; diverse interests; non-judgemental; generally an eternal optimist who easily sees the goodness in others; personable, engaging, slow to anger, judiciously assertive as necessary; monogamous and honest, and have no tolerance for disloyalty; married and divorced twice and single the past 15+ years. Interested in long term relationship, and open to marrying again if the love is mutually deep and firmly rooted in a Really Good Friendship.
I've become a Revolutionary at heart in my political perspective, and am of the opinion that only a second American Revolution will re-direct our nation's failed marriage of Democracy with Capitalism. Unlike our first revolution, this can be accomplished without blood and guns, but with highly organized passive resistance against our government and mega-corporations and banks in this modern day medieval society, and against the erosion of our Constitution's principles. I know that I'm not alone in this across America, and that's why I'm voicing it. (Hello, NSA!)
By no means desperate, I don't fall in love easily, but I'd like to develop an exclusive relationship with a very special, like-minded, attractive woman with many of the same qualities and interests I've cited. I'm a romantic man and a man who likes and wants romance. I literally can enjoy sharing flowers and candles with a woman any or every day, and it would never be the same. It's the silent look and soft smile across the room or yard or bed, that says, "I love you, Sweetie." And sometimes followed by the actual words, and why at that given moment, if within earshot. It's the little no-special-occasion gifts, the spontaneous, unsolicited gentle kiss(s), daily hugs, being helped in little ways, and knowing how you like your favorite drink made and how many ice cubes you like. And it's the intimate touches with no demand or expectation or request, dancing in the morning kitchen, kisses on the back of the neck while standing at the sink or stove or shower head or trailside.
I'd really like to fall in love again, ladies. But this can't happen in a long distance relationship limited to texts, phone conversations, and infrequent time together, so don't spend your
time and energy unless you live less than about 30 minutes from Bryson City.
Thanks for reading.
