Palomo, 68

I am looking for people with a stronger spiritual, emotional and intellectual side. I am not looking for a walking date base or library, but someone who loves life, who is free to experience, who loves beauty and who is proud of who she is. In the above short statement I have described myself.

I have traveled quite a bit and I am well informed on most subjects. I think that having information is vital; what is even more important, however, is what a person does with the information. A more vital question to answer is if the information that a person has is coherent, consistent and comprises a complete body of knowledge; or is it just a collection of facts not related to living? I think that the most intellectually advanced are those who know how to live, which means, know how to be and stay happy; how to engage existence; know how to conquer fear; how to detect when they are seeing things through fixed ideas and thus can change. I prefer those with a sophisticated intellect who can see the world complete and who are not too immersed in themselves to try to become the epicenter of life.

Pro-Bush and conservative types are out of the question. People that care for the environment and who like the outdoors are my type. Those who place too much importance on a materialistic existence are a turn off. Music lovers; poets; people with an artistic edge; people passionate about current political issues; people that see beyond this lifetime and today are kindred souls.

If you have a passion for yoga or Zen; if you are a vegan; if you have a preferred way of dressing, eating and doing things, that is all fine with me. I do not care what your passion is or will be. I only care that you are a living entity, that you care about people, that you have faith in what you believe and that you do not think that you and only you have all the answers. If you hold similar views, either fully or in part, then I would really love to hear from you.
