I’m a spunky, smart, introspective and unconventional girl looking for a lively mate. I’m thoughtful, artistic, creative, forthright, down to earth, funny.
Though I’ve mostly given up figuring most things out, I tend to like people who are at least occasionally struck by how mysterious and strange and beautiful just about everything is.
I teach college witing and literature, so that means I'm encountering these half-kid, half-adult creatures all the time, which keeps me curious about the vast shallows and depths of human beings.
The people I admire most have struggled with the questions life poses more than most. I attribute this to a combination of guts, honesty, insight, tenderness.
Curiosity and a sense of bigger, lost, things led me to Zen practice when I was 18, and I’m still at it, at 39. And now I do yoga, too. Lots of yoga. LOVE yoga.
I love many of the things human beings have nothing to do with: trees, rain, fuzzy four legged creatures, snow, bugs, sounds...
My Ideal Person:
somebody to wander around with, wonder with.
somebody tender and playful, kind and curious.
maybe we'll romp around new zealand.
or...here are the adjectives!
introspective: i like people who notice their own weirdness and remain curious about it.
funny: not a jokester or a prankster, necessarily, (though i like both!!), but somebody who is laughing a lot, amused, in general-- by oneself, by me, by lots of things...
gentle: kind to people, animals...i tend to appreciate softies,people who are still vulnerable and sensitive...even if they may seem all sophisticated, edgy, urban at first.
smart: curious, receptive, engaging.
a great friend: someone who knows the solitude that precedes intimacy.
The last great book I read
loved elizabeth gilbert's last american man.
Favorite on-screen sex scene
i prefer the off-screen scenes.
If I could be anywhere right now
the zen approach to moments is practice waking up to the
plain old moment you're in right now...so that's
what i try to do, in general...which really just means that
wishing you were other places isn't all that satisfying.
("life is what happens while you're making plans"
kinda thing.) i'm not dogmatic about this, and mostly
just curious about the ways human beings are so wiggly and
itchy and ready to jump out into a somewhere else...so yeah,
it's about curiosity, not "do it this way".
("It" meaning: this zen approach i practice...)
Five items I can't live without
not items, exactly: humor. curiosity. winks of kindness.
trees, wind... books.
and of course.. my work. teaching and writing keep the depths
kickin'.
Fill in the blank: _____ is sexy; _____ is sexier.
somethin' about you is sexy...somethin' about
you now i know you is sexier...
In my bedroom one will find...
tower of books. things i love: an old oak vanity. a quilt with a few squares
missing. my friends' artwork. not-things i love: my long-whiskered boys.
