''Life" wrote a friend of mine, "is a public performance on the violin, in which you must learn the instrument as you go along."' I'm still learning and looking to connect with other gentle, kind-hearted, intellectual types that are trying to make sense of it all.

Turn-ons: intense conversation, ideas, books, politics, and theology / spirituality. I'm a practicing Theravadan Buddhist interested in connecting with other women with a serious spiritual practice or interest. My demographic data is as follows: 41- year-old woman, adequately employed, living in a medium sized city in middle America.
