Art, Writer, and Civil Servant

Male (66) looking for Female Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

Went to Northern Kentucky University and studied Buddhism there with Aaron Miller. Most of my involvement is through the reading of Alan Watts, Gary Snyder, Miranda Shaw, and art. Also, studied a lot of J. Krishnamurti writings. My practice is walking and hiking meditation. I'm an independent soul who does like people; I am a Sagittarius on the cusp of Capricorn. Love art, music, yoga, humor, and mindful conversation.

On the first dateThe best thing is to meet some place for lunch to get to meet. It isn't spectacular but is safe and no pressure. If it works it works and if it doesn't it doesn't. If it were Cincinnati it would be Ambar's! ;-)
