"Risk everything for love if you are truly human. Otherwise, leave this gathering." -RumiWriting about myself is difficult, but required, so here's my brief ramble. ~~I feel that the focused pursuit of end results alone leads to unhappiness. For me, happiness comes through the process of getting where I'm going. Sharing that experience with a partner, and taking part in their journey, makes the experience more meaningful. ~~I am a sane and loving person who connects well with others. I value friends and family and animals. I'm politically left of center and that is reflected in my work as a business owner, filmmaker, teacher, writer, and musician. I try to walk a fine line between being non-judgemental and making the decisions I must in order to get through each day. ~~I am an educated person with two masters degrees. As a musician I have performed with orchestras, sang backup with the Carpenters for 5 years (I was very young at the time), gigged with numerous bands and scored hundreds of films and TV shows. My graduate degrees are in film and I currently make my living as a producer/director/writer and university professor and department chair. I am fortunate to make a living doing what I love to do. ~~My musical tastes are diverse; I appreciate every style. Rock, pop, jazz, classical, blues and alt country have a place in my heart. ~~I love great comedy and worship humor. I have a personal prescription that requires an hour of humor every day. ~~I am spiritually tuned to the world but non-dogmatic. I am a panentheist whose beliefs are most closely reflected by Taoism but am comfortable with many traditions. I believe honesty is truly the best policy--nobody was ever caught telling a truth. Rumi's advice was to risk everything for love. That appears to be the main reason we are here--to love and be loved. From my experience, relationships must have three elements to succeed: intimacy, commitment and passion. If any of these is missing, it just won't work. Having these parts in place is only one step. Balancing them with the needs and interests of the individuals and, at the same time, creating an environment that allows the main three to grow and evolve over time--well, that's the trick, isn't it? I believe it can be done. The binders that hold it all together are humor, openness, honesty and acceptance. I think we all want the same thing; to adore someone and be adored in return. A good relationship is worth working and persevering for. Finally, I hate coathangers; they tangle, hide out behind the dryer and mock me.Well, it appears that I am surprisingly capable of writing on and on about myself. I'll close by saying that if larger portions of the above ramble describe you, then there is a chance we could ramble together.WARNING: Any *** individuals using this site or any of its associated sites for studies or projects-you DO NOT have permission to use any of my profile nor my pictures in any capacity both current and future.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by checking me out.Are you open to meeting a new friend? Once we are friends that a great foundation to develop deep trust and have a opening to fall in Love.I am a very down to earth, straightforward, happy, spiritual and really a funny guy. My friends would say that I have heart of gold. I am honest, and I live my life with integrity.I am a family man, my daughter lives with me half the time and I love and adore spending time with her very much. So it is important that you like kids or have a few of your own. People say I look and act much younger than my age. My pictures are current and I would prefer that yours are current. I guess no matter what I write or how I look, it all comes down to the energy that happens when you get to know someone, either it is there or not. I am always happy to just meet for a cup of tea none or coffee and say hello. I would love to find a new best friend, someone honest straight forward and likes to laugh and enjoy themselves. A lady who is on a spiritual path, and is happy with who she is. I am looking for the last love of my life, to live happily ever after with! (Is that still possible in this day and age?)Be happy, and may you find what your heart desires.I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic remember the limitations of being human.It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, 'Yes.'It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

I had a profile on here recently and was unable to log in, so I am creating a new one.I love my Teneessee Walkers, I have nine of them.. I have four children who all over 18years of age. I enjoy going for wagon rides, trail rides, and horseback riding. I do some excavating with my bobcat land equipment. I met alot of great people who pulled together during a tragic time.I am looking to be in a serious relationship eventually. I cannot accept drinking of any sort nor any drug use. I want to talk with you and get to know you. I am not good at texting or typing, I have a horrible time spelling, and I ask if i can have a phone conversation usually as soon as we meet on here. Randy The first date would be what ever we agree on.Getting acquainted is the goal to see if we are compatiable or if we want to see each other again. Removing as much awkwardness would help us get to talking. (o:
