And if you recognize that caption as the opening lyrics of "Bodhisattva" by Steely Dan... and you have even a clue what a bodhisattva is, then I'm sure we will get along fine! If not, read on - there may still be hope for you! <grin>

I'm into a lot of things but mostly into getting out of "self" and into the present moment. When not at work, my waking hours are devoted to expanding consciousness (naturally) and learning more about this wonderment called Life. I am an ordinary guy with a not-so-ordinary story. My wife of 22 years died last Autumn, the kiddos are gone and it's time to live and perhaps love again.

Emotional and physical intimacy are important. Openness and honesty on your part is all that is asked. I don't push, manipulate or control. We're adults and we each have our views on how to live... and let live. I don't go for the usual list of expectations and requirements because that just sets the stage for conflict and disappointment down the road. Allowing one another space for a free, honest and trusting relationship is something worth the time and effort. If the words "free" and "trusting" seem contradictory to you, then I'm probably not your type.

I have a tendency to shun the masses and popular culture. Some acquaintances think I am too intellectual or high-minded. My friends know me better... they just think I'm crazy! My pursuits typically take me where there are few, if any others. The road less traveled is home to these shoes. That's enough for now. Bye!   Send me a message!
