Buddhist Passions

With meditation comes clarity

I don't really know what I'm doing here. I have avoided the online dating scene for a while because I don't know if I believe in it. Here goes. I have been divorced for almost 7 years. I have downsized quite a bit. I live in a small rental apartment that more than meets my living requirements. I even have a garage for my car, bicycle and motorcycle. My landlord is more of a friend. I was in the Navy for 20 years. I worked as a computer programmer in Seattle for a few years then decided a change of scenery was needed. I moved back home to Maine and worked for the state. I am retired completely now and spend much of my time volunteering. I have no children. At this time I don't think this world is conducive to raising children. I have been studying and practicing Buddhism for quite a while now and it clicks for me. I recently found a local ‘Sangha’…group of practitioners. I believe I have a great sense of humor and am not afraid to embarrass myself. I will ask if I don't 'get it'. I like the outdoors and exercise like bicycling, indoor roller skating, the gym and wildlife, including insects. I like to ride my motorcycle on Maine's back roads. I ride my bicycle mostly on the rail trail but do cruise the city streets of Augusta. I need to get to Acadia...they tell me it's nice. I try to eat light but I like almost anything. I have tried sushi and, while I don't dislike it, it doesn't do much for me. Oh, I don't like caviar. My political views are middle of the road. I think I can see some of both sides though I used to be a staunch ‘Reagan Republican’...until Iraq. I'd like to meet someone like me...only a girl, if that makes sense. I believe that soul mates exist and chemistry can be a sign, but, not a sure sign. Well, that's about it for now. This seems dry when I read it back. Oh well. I have volumes more to share with SOMEONE out there.
