Aboveavg, 58

I am a rather-deep thinking but light-hearted teacher, dad, musician, writer. I am looking for someone who has a sharp wit and who is compassionate. I find these traits are complimentary. I also tend to seek better ways than drama. Not to discount things that are truly serious; but many situations don't require so much fuss. I am influenced by eastern thought enough, I suppose, to consider the emphasis on compassion my central philosophical bent. How's that for now?
