Seeking: Ηeart, Kindness, Chemistry Spark, καί Ψυχή.

Achievements, material things & work are important, but it's part of the wisdom of life to be fully engaged in life … with friendships, with music and literature, with exercise of mind and body, with nourishing our spirituality, with an appreciation of the soft beauty of all the living-growing things that surround us, and at least with some compassion for the less fortunate among us. I am idealistic but well-grounded, empathetic, and self-confident (not self-venerating). Similar interests and values are important to a partnership, but romantic love thrives on complementarity (συμπληρωματικότητα). I grew up attending church services regularly, and I believe in the innate goodness in people. I love beauty, but it's the marvel of the whole woman that moves me - not any specific feature or the measure of her success. I like handholding and intimate conversations that may touch unexplored recesses of our soul. I am comfortable in many social settings, e. g. formal dinners, festivals, school functions, church activities, outdoor concerts, sporting events & family-friend gatherings. More simply, I am of the "cup is half-full" ilk. I am looking for a friendship that may become a relationship of choice, respect, and joy. With the right soul-stirring passion and heart-warming chemistry it may move us to actualize our unique destiny. These, and faithfulness, integrity, and unpretentiousness I think are some of the necessary (but insufficient) ingredients for an enduring relationship.
