Mcgroovy, 38

Looking for a happy, healthy, introspective girl I consider myself a very happy person. I sometimes accidentally laugh so loudly that I embarrass my friends in public places and I like smiling and saying hello to strangers in an attempt to add a little more love into the world. I have been hiking ultra-distance backpacking trails every year for the last three years, and in doing so I lived in the wilderness for 9.5 months altogether. I'm currently working as a care manager at an assisted living home and finishing the last 3 semesters of my bachelor's degree in philosophy. I read, sing, play guitar, write songs and make art, hike/walk/backpack, and love great healthy food! Also, I am hopelessly addicted to coffee AND I'm eager to find a girl who can grow with me so we can be a continual source of excitement and strength for each other even though life will always be changing.

Important: I'm looking for a girl who has passion and goals, BUT can still just roll with it and accept when things don't go her way. Let's face it, no matter how hard you grab life by the balls, it's still just going to drag you around sometimes! Words of wisdom: let it be. Life is still incredible. I NEED someone who is very kind and loving and values eating mainly plant-based unprocessed foods. Also!!.. Huge bonus points go to anyone who likes going for walks, playing scrabble/cranium/etc, and not turning on the TV!

I have some strong hippie tendencies, however I'm also very realistic and skeptical of all the spiritual mumbo jumbo out there. I'm very attracted to spiritual people because they all in some way value compassion and love, but so often with these people this gets tangled up in superstition, fantasy, and faith. I'm looking for someone who is also exploring herself spiritually but who is aware that blind faith is different than the truth. Exploring awareness, existence, and self-improvement is one of the things I value most and I really want a girl who can be my partner in learning how to live and love well.
