Highplainswoman, 66

I stand on the edge of yet another adventure, the wind lifts my hair and as I look to the mountains I am assured of the peace that I can find there. My life is full but I would choose to share it with someone of equal vision and ambition, the dream is close but still needs to be realized. I am strong, wiser with the years and at peace with myself, unafraid of hard work and comfortable with my solitude, I would hope to find another person who feels the same! I live within society inspite of it and would have no aversion to stepping further away from it but would rather do so in good company. I chop wood and haul water and find a great reward in doing so, the reverance of building a fire and the resulting warmth offsets any luxury that can be offered to me and I would rather cut wood than go to town. I have found my own happiness along the way but would still prefer to share my life with someone whose spirit is till in tact, who knows the joy of life and can find the same joy in the simple things that I do. Someone who is strong, intelligent, hard working, at peace with himself and the world around him and has overcome his weaknesses and addictions. A man who knows himself and has direction and dreams, patience and tolerance (at least to some degree!), who is comfortable with himself and who has the confidence and the trust to allow himself and his partner to be who they wish to be while still being loyal and faithful to each other.
