Elysianbliss, 67

The Grand essentials of happiness are: "something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for" and I'll add doing good for others.

I am looking for a person who understands that it is the journey, not the destination. I have a deep love of learning and a passion for social justice. I still want to "save the world" -comes with the demographic. Gandhi said it all, "live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever".

I am a caring passionate person who cherishes living in the moment. I ask for honesty, integrity, respect and kindness and I give those things in abundance.

I am feminine and soft, I'm also determined confident, and feminist.... these are not incompatible concepts .... they blend superbly.

The man who I would admire, would be witty with a good sense of humour , have a genuine humility, kindness and generosity of spirit, be motivated, achievement oriented and psychologically well adjusted.

**I am a 'homebody', but if you want to conquer K2, or spend the summer in Antartica, then rest assured, I will wait faithfully for your return.

"I have heard of reasons manifold
Why love needs to be blind
But this the best of all I hold
His eyes are in his mind".

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

***faint heart will not win this fair lady, courage and valour and empathy highly regarded.

****I am interested in corresponding with like minded intelligent persons, Y chromosome preferred.
