I enjoy being around people who can hold interesting conversations about a variety of topics, including science & world affairs. I spend a lot of time caring for others (I am a physician) so a quiet time in nature daily keeps me grounded, I love being by/around or on the water, love to travel and eat good food. I love horses though still learning to ride. I love poetry, David Whyte is my favorite poet. I think the world of nature is beautiful despite the painful realities around the world. Keeping one's peace while bearing witness to these two opposing realities seems to be our purpose here?
