Seeking The Beauty of Like Mind & Spirit I am interested in a serious relationship - in a connection with a woman who makes my stomach spin ...

The attraction feels natural, and this feeling is mutual. Strong friendship and partnership. Growing, evolving, learning through our interaction with one another ...

There is no need to be dishonest or ostentatious, but I can understand why either of us would be at times. I value understanding, compassion, honesty, and openness - but I am also vulnerable to surrendering to reactive and contradictory behaviors because I am in the same boat as everybody else ...

It's not so much about right or wrong, or good or bad - but more about misery or happiness ...

I do not regard crying as a weakness. I have been fully conscious of holding myself back, and the act has been maintained by the power of fear alone ...

At times when I am emotionally "in it", many of the ideas that struggle inside of me and around me simply dissipate. It's not easy, however, to hold on to even the awareness of a self-destructive pattern of thinking or "being" in the world ...

Okay - enough of that. Growth and giggles. Yes, humor is important to me - and I am not going to sit here and say, "Well, yes, humor - but only restricted to blah blah blah". There are tendencies that I lean toward or against - but it's difficult to box myself in without the worry that I might be disallowing an expression that is critical to my growth ...

I prefer a woman who does not drink or use drugs ...

I prefer a woman who does not have any children. I may one day desire to have children, but I don't want to step into a role that I'm not yet ready to play ...

With respect to spirituality, I find this area difficult to pin down. Concepts that intrigue me are: Oneness, Consciousness, Flow, Now, Synchronicity, Intuition, Self-Awareness, and more ...

Ultimately, our attraction - to reiterate - feels natural, and this feeling is mutual. The steps aren't arranged. We just are.
