I'm a stocky, 5'7", trim and fit, 160-pounder who is a Connecticut born, Minnesota raised, direct Mayflower descendant (of John Howland). I’m also a Vietnam war vet (electronic-cryptographic tech) who morphed into an avid world traveler, initially plying the major Northern European cities as a busker street singer, with guitar & harmonicas - in order to finance my first overland journeys to India.

I thereafter spent considerable time engrossed in an exhilarating camouflaged, yet benign, livelihood as an international purveyor of cannabis compounds - while secondarily (inspiringly) engaged in comparative religion studies that took me to extended stays in North Africa, Lebanon, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, and repeatedly back to India, augmented by a lengthy excursion to Australia.

With many pre-Taliban expeditions in Afghanistan and wanderings through the northern regions of India, Kashmir and parts of Nepal, I remain fascinated and focused upon Northern (Mahayana) Buddhist concepts, meditative prayer(s) of quiet, deep nature settings, and have long-utilized the divinatory forecasting processes inherent in Tarot methodology and the ancient Chinese oracle; "The Book of Changes" (The I Ching).

Subsequent to my rather oblique years of earning a living and searching for deep-rooted spiritual insight in far-away lands, I returned to the U.S., fathered two enchanting sons, and maneuvered through some complex financial circumstances.

As time progressed, after the turn of the millennium, I resided in Southern California, serving as the research assistant for a prominent inventor of banking service components. As Covid receded, I then moved to Washington state, whereupon I became a member of a spiritualist church, and during the last few years, I've been fortunate to develop a Tarot clientele through a popular crystal-herbal apothecary, ideally located south of Seattle on the well-traveled route to Mount Rainier.

Regarding my personal proclivities, I've proved to be a diet conscious fitness freak. I'm occasionally entheogenic and for the past 9 years, I've been totally without alcohol or marijuana usage [though numerous friends moderately partake of wine or cannabis].

Recently, another blessing has emerged. I've now joined in partnership with a long-time California friend, an astoundingly experienced real estate tactician. With my Kansas based business proceedings performed solely by phone and laptop, I'm now flexibly living and working out of both Eastern Kansas & Washington, or wherever...

As events are transpiring, I'm intently seeking to secure the companionship of a cheerful empath, a faithful and fun-loving better half - who possesses the same sacred and heartfelt inner resources, one who has an open and Free Spirit with which to usher in our interwoven harmony, enabling us to fall heart & head-first into Love with everything Life brings...all the benevolence and challenges our CREATOR has willed for us.

To reinforce and solidify our interaction, it's predictable that we shall both recognize the structural strength & beauty of mutual meditative practice.

Amidst family affairs, interactions with friends, and our own art forms, as well as with our general interests and our travels, our periodic subliminal immersions into our "Prayer(s) of Quiet" shall unveil an indelible, fertile, bond, providing benefits that are both spiritual and practical.

However often we launch into these interludes, we'll cumulatively deepen the dimensions of our Divine Coupling on a profound level, allowing our individual creative energies to blend, merge, and thrive.

Within the length and breadth of our daily activities, I'm envisioning my darling & I becoming interlaced together in the peace that passes all understanding...adorned, and anointed through the expanse of entering into our prayerful quiescent absorption - to spend time (beyond time) conjoining and unifying with our All-Pervasive, All-Encompassing, LOVING CREATOR !!!
Hallelujah !
