"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity." (Henry Van Dyke)

I am: affectionate, benevolent, gentle, kind, hard working, mannerly and responsible for my actions. I like to travel, enjoy scenic historic places and the tropics in winter. My musical interests vary: some classical, some rock and alternative.
I own a few acres with a house in the country, where I grow vegetables and enjoy cooking and canning.
I am about to enter the teaching profession and have been substitute teaching for several years.

I want to feel something and search for someone who will bring that out in me. "Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."(James Baldwin)

I would prefer a quiet place where we can hear each without having to shout.
