Lived in the PA suburbs, outside of Philadelphia, most of my life. Now I'm resettling with my cats into rural WV, creating a home around us. I do miss having all sorts of restaurants within an easy traveling distance, as well as ethnic grocers, cheese shops, & the like. Still, the trade-offs found here are worth it: The scenery, the quiet, wildlife, friendly neighbors, etc.

I'm searching for a non-smoker who'd prefer a picnic to an ATV. An animal lover rather than a hunter. A compassionate spirit who respects the encompassing universe over someone indifferent to Nature. Someone self-assured yet not arrogant. A person who recognizes that "truth" cannot be found, only approximated. A man who seeks an equal partner in all pursuits. If you are more like a gentle stream than the powerful ocean, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Ahh ... The image derives from a mirror. (No one around me snaps photos.) And, of course, it's not "the truth" of all that I am.

Probably meet at a public place -- most likely a restaurant or coffee shop -- where getting to know each other is possible. I believe that, whether a relationship develops quickly or incrementally, chatting & laughter are good ways to begin to explore the potential for it.
