I live in Massachusetts. I use to be a spiritual seeker most of my life. The story of how I came to be an avowed atheist as opposed to someone who was constantly seeking is sort of bizarre and better left to share privately. I do miss the palliative illusion, I admit, with chagrin. Oh well, wishing it were so does not make it so. I would love to meet someone here, but also just am so psyched to find this place at all. The characteristics that separate me from the majority just seem to keep adding up. I believe religion is a deleterious force in society for very specific and personal reasons. I love science, although not that great at it, like to read narrative nonfiction, most recently read Woolly, about de-extincting the woolly mammoth. I like nature and anyplace outdoors near water
My dream life would be to travel in an RV with a male companion. I want to go to Mexico, and SAmerica someday. I've only been in the US so far. I like to play games like cribbage and backgammon and trivia. I use to be into crafts, like sewing but lost interest for the time being. I love music, and esp live music festivals. I was teaching myself guitar for a few years recently but due to injury can't do that anymore. Hmmm. What else? I have 2 grown kids and 5 grandchildren, but I would relocate to be in a great relationship, I put my time in, haha, feel whatever it takes for my own happiness is justified at this point in my life. I'm funny and love to be around others with a wicked sense of humor. I love to watch stand-up comedy. I believe meditation/mindfulness practice is a tool, not a spiritual discipline, for me, although I first began it from that place, almost 20 years ago. Ok, enough for now. Oh, want to add that I love craft beer, especially yummy porters. Abhor hoppy bitter brews though.
